The Louis C & Helen M. Pakiser Endowed Fellowship Fund in Geophysics was established for the purpose of providing financial aid in the form of fellowship awards to graduate students enrolled at Mines. The fund is intended to recruit students who hold outstanding promise for future success in geophysical research and/or education, and that diligent efforts be made to recruit women and members of minority groups who are under-represented in Earth sciences. Candidates shall not be limited in so far as their doctoral thesis topics are concerned; however, preference shall be given to studies in lithospheric structures and processes, especially in the Rocky Mountain region. In selecting candidates, consideration should be given to motivation and academic performance, especially in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geology, and scholarly interest in the arts and humanities. Fellowship awards may be used to pay tuition, fees, books and expenses associated with the recipient’s doctoral thesis (including a stipend).
