Learn more about your impact
The Geology Field Camp Scholarship Fund provides an experience for future geologists to apply what has been learned in the classroom and lab to real geological fieldwork. During field camp, students work in the field by day and live in a National Forest campground. Students work independently to make and record field observations, describe and identify rocks, and determine 3D structural relationships. This requires intense and sustained focus to always know your location while interpreting and recording complex geology. The process requires use of knowledge and skills gained throughout the student's coursework, combined with the physical and intellectual challenge of exploring complex geology in rugged landscapes.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
