Scholarship Awards Potluck Picnic


We are happy to honor scholarship awardees at our annual June potluck picnic in Canyon Rim Park.  The event includes BBQ, delicious homemade treats, lawn games, and socializing with geoscientists and geoscience fans.  Stay tuned for more details.  All ages, genders, members, and guests are welcome!

Science Fair

The AWG Utah Chapter is an ardent supporter of young women and girls with interests in the geosciences. As part of our mission, AWG Utah annually awards the Student Awards for Geoscience Excellence (SAGE) Certificate for the best geoscience project submitted by a female student at the University of Utah Science and Engineering Fair. We believe the SAGE award, which includes a cash prize, encourages school-age girls to consider a career in the geosciences, provides positive reinforcement for their courage in entering local science fairs, and rewards them for excellence in choosing and implementing their projects.  In addition, we ask professional women in the geosciences to serve as judges, giving them the opportunity to enhance their professional growth and advancement in the geosciences by serving as role models to young girls considering earth science as a career option.  

Watch here for more details about the upcoming USEF events. If you are interested in serving as a judge please Contact Us. If you would like to donate to support AWG Utah's support of female student science fair participants at USEF, please visit the Donate page.
