Support for Study

The generous contributions of friends, alumni, and professional organizations has provided the Kimbell School of Geosciences with annual and summer scholarships for both graduates and undergraduates. These are available for students on the Environmental Sciences Track (GEOE) or Geosciences Track (GEOS). To receive scholarship support, students need to submit the appropriate form for the department. Awards are competitive and contingent on academic performance.

We are also pleased to highlight the Borders Scholarship honors Del and Mona Borders, awarded to outstanding students within the Kimbell School of Geosciences. 

Additionally, the Desk and Derrick Club of Wichita Falls  (the local chapter of the Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs) provides generous scholarships and has increased the number from three to four students for this year. These scholarships are awarded to seniors who have a demonstrated record of excellence in scholarship and service to the program.
