The Association for Women Geoscientists awards the Association for Women Geoscientists Minority Scholarship to underrepresented minority (African American, Hispanic, or Native American) women who are interested in/are currently working on an undergrad degree in the geosciences (which includes geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, meteorology, physical oceanography, planetary geology, or earth science education). Whether you are a full time student pursuing your undergrad degree, or are a high school senior, feel free to apply; the Association awards one or more awards totaling $6000! Also, the scholarship will match the student with a mentor in the same field who will offer guidance and support.
The application calls for a statement of academic and career goals, two letters of recommendation, high school and college transcripts, and SAT or ACT scores. The application can be downloaded as a word document at the scholarship’s webpage. If you have any questions, direct them to Christina Tapia (awgscholarship@yahoo.com). When the application is completed, mail it to:

According to the AWG website, these undergraduate scholarships are “given each summer”, so, yes, I believe they are offered annually (once a year). Good luck!
