Student Support Initiative

In-Kind Analytical Support to Applied Geochemistry Students

***The SSI is currently fully subscribed and not accepting new applications at this moment. Please check back periodically for an update****

For students of applied geochemistry, a significant cost of thesis work can be geochemical analysis.

AAG’s Student Support Initiative aims to identify applied geochemistry students worthy of support, and put them in touch with participating analytical laboratories who will consider providing geochemical analysis either free of charge or at a reduced rate.
