The Society for Organic Petrology (TSOP) is dedicated to promoting research and education in organic petrology, a field that includes the study of coal petrology, kerogen petrology, organic geochemistry, and related disciplines. By supporting the academic and professional development of students and researchers in this field, TSOP aims to advance the understanding and application of organic petrology.
The grant program provided by TSOP, particularly the Student Travel Award, aims to facilitate student participation in annual TSOP meetings. It provides three monetary awards of $1,000 each to support expenses related to attending these meetings. Recipients are expected to use the funds specifically for travel expenses and provide receipts post-meeting to demonstrate accountability. The grant emphasizes the importance of fostering educational growth and professional development among students in the field by enabling them to engage in significant gatherings and scientific exchanges. This opportunity underscores TSOP's commitment to enriching the academic and professional journeys of students within the community of organic petrology.
