Bates Memorial Scholarship

The Robert L. Bates memorial Scholarship is awarded to an outstanding student of geology.  It provides funding for the winning Scholar to attend the Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals.  Students of the earth or allied sciences with Junior through Graduate student standing will be considered. A strong inclination towards industrial minerals is necessary. Nominators are asked to fill out the attached form detailing their assessment of the student. An advisor or a professional in the field of industrial minerals are good choices for nominators. The nominated student is asked to send a letter detailing his/her background, experience with industrial minerals, and professional goals to the Bates Scholarship Committee. A paper presentation is welcome, but not required for nomination. The Forum Steering Committee will select a student, in consultation with the Trustees of the Robert L. Bates Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc., from a ranked list of applicants.
