With apologies for multiple postings:

The Mineralogical Society of America's Grants for Student Research In Mineralogy and Petrology are funded by an endowment created by contributions from the MSA membership. The grant comprises two awards of up to $5,000 each for research in mineralogy and petrology. Students, including graduate and undergraduate students, are encouraged to apply. However, all proposals are considered together. The award selection will be based on the qualifications of the applicant, the quality, innovativeness, and scientific significance of the research, and the likelihood of success of the project. Applicants may not apply for both this and the MSA Grant for Research in Crystallography in the same year.

The grant is for research-related expenses only. Travel to meetings, conferences, short courses, non-research fieldtrips, tuition, non-research living (room and board) expenses, etc. are not suitable uses of the money. Neither should the money be used for salary or wages for the researcher. Proposals that make such requests will not be considered further. The successful applicant also will be asked in the year following grant to write a short summary of how the money was spent.

The next award will be made in January, 2012. Proposals for these grants are now being accepted and are to be made online. New proposal requirements specify in detail the format of what should be submitted. Instructions for application and submission can be found at http://grants.minsocam.org. Again, note that applicants may not submit proposals for both the Kraus (crystallography) and Mineralogy/Petrology grants in the same year.

Further information also can be obtained from:
