Scholarships range from $500 to $10,000 USD per academic year;
The Field Camp program provides grants ranging from $1,000-$20,000 annually per project. Projects must have an impact on the geophysical profession or students of the geosciences.
SEG/Chevron Student Leadership Symposium (SLS) focuses on leadership, teamwork, and communication skills building for 50 student participants who are all active officers of their SEG Student Chapters.
SEG/ExxonMobil Student Education Program (SEP) is organized the same way. SEP is a 2½ day short course that prepares college students for the challenges of an oil industry career. The program includes lectures and exercises directly related to geoscience/geophysical work performed in the oil industry. ExxonMobil provides course materials, team exercises and instructors.
Both programs cover the expenses for travel, lodging, and registration to SEG's Annual Meeting.
Student Chapter Excellence Program awards student chapters for their activities and participation and ranks chapters as Base, Ridge, and Summit levels based on the amount of chapter activities accomplished throughout the year. Only chapters reach Summit level each year.
