Warren L. and Florence W. Calvert Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Warren L. and Florence W. Calvert Memorial Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to United States citizens who are graduate students that major in the earth sciences. Each year, half of the earnings of monies invested in the fund are paid out in scholarships, while the remaining half is added to the corpus of the fund. This growth factor, along with donations from individual HGS members, allows the fund to award larger scholarships each year to meet, at least in part, the increasing costs of a college education. This year the fund was aided by fees generated from the numerous HGS Vendor Corners. For 2012, the fund awarded eight $3500 scholarships and one half-year $1750 scholarship to nine exceptional graduate students.
The HGS and the Memorial Scholarship Fund Board gratefully acknowledge the following contributions to the Fund in 2012. The three categories of contributions are Patron at $500 or more, Donor $100 to $500, and Contributor at less than $100.
