GAC® Student Prizes
The GAC® Student Prizes are awarded annually to outstanding students enrolled in B.Sc. earth-science programs at Canadian universities.
The prize consists of:
- A one-year basic membership in the Geological Association of Canada, which includes the Association's news magazine GEOLOG, and a subscription to the quarterly journal Geoscience Canada.
Prospective candidates do not apply for these prizes; the winners are selected on the basis of nomination of a single student in each earth-science department by the respective department head.
The prizes are open to students in their penultimate year who are expected to complete their degree in the normal time. They are awarded on the basis of overall academic standing. The names of student winners are published in GEOLOG each year.
