Applications will be evaluated based on an essay submission (2-page maximum), as well as transcripts (required) and supporting information such as letters of support (optional). These components will be evaluated as follows:
Essay (90% of total weight):
- Motivation: Why has the student chosen to pursue an education in geoscience.
- Commitment: What are the student’s education and career plans and how do they intend to ensure success in their field?
- Obstacles and mitigating circumstances: What obstacles has this student faced in pursuing their geoscience education.
Transcripts (10% of total weight).
- Transcripts are not required to reflect excellence, but in the event that they demonstrate past struggles with education, should be addressed within the context of the essay or in supporting material.
Supporting material is optional and not required for an application, but may help students with exceptional mitigating circumstances. This material may be in the form of reference letters, for example.
Applications will be reviewed by a committee comprising at least two professional geoscientists (P.Geo.).
