Further Information:
Students from outside UWyo are asked to send (or e-mail to Dr. Campbell-Stone) a completed application. (UWyo students should sign up at the office of the department academic coordinator.) Non UW applicants will be accepted on the basis of academic excellence and potential for professional development as indicated by their application and letter of recommendation. In order to apply, students must have achieved a B or higher in Structural Geology, Sed/Strat, and Mineralogy.
Applications must include a paragraph detailing geologic interests as well as a letter of recommendation from a faculty member of their department. Early applications are encouraged due to limitations on the number of students to be accepted. Applications are normally processed within three weeks. Applicants notified of acceptance must submit a non refundable pre-payment of $100 to hold a seat in the class. Course enrollment will be limited to approximately 30 students in order to maintain a favorable student-to-staff ratio (approximately 7:1).

Financial Aid:
In order to receive financial aid from UW, students must be enrolled as degree-seeking students at the University of Wyoming. It is possible to enroll as a degree-seeking student for the summer, but the process takes several months. Students are encouraged to START EARLY (January) in their search for financial aid. Other sources may include: NAGT, the National Association of Geology Teachers, which annually awards scholarships to students who are attending a recognized field course. Information and application forms can be found at the NAGT website.
