Financial Support
The Geosystems Master’s Program is designed for the brightest, most motivated future engineers who want to shape the future of the built environment.
- Cutting‑edge, interdisciplinary curriculum – blends field investigations, advanced laboratory work, and high‑performance numerical modeling.
- Mentorship from leading researchers – interaction with faculty who drive the frontiers of soil‑structure interaction, sustainable foundations, and geomechanics.
- Hands‑on experience – students get experience with training in the field, the laboratory, and in numerical modeling.
Through Fellowships, the Geosystems Consortium, and the Geosystems Alumni Association, the program provides opportunities for financial support:
- Partial or full funding for both US-based and international students.
- Graduate‑Student‑Instructor (GSI) positions that provide valuable teaching experience.
James K. Mitchell Fellowship
The fellowship was created by Professor Mitchell's former students and and colleagues to recognize his contributions and to support the education of the next generation of leaders in geotechnical engineering.
Antonia Fung Fellowship
Endowed by Katherine Fung (BS 1984, MS 1985) in memory of her mother Antonia to provide graduate fellowships in Geotechnical Engineering, with a preference to support qualified female students.
Harry Bolton Seed Fellowship
Established in honor of Professor H.B. Seed in 1990 by an anonymous gift to support an annual award for a qualified M.S student in Geotechnical Engineering.
Parker D. Trask Memorial Scholarship
Established in 1961 in memory of Professor Parker Davies Trask by a gift from his family and friends to support students in geological engineering.
