* A woman who is African-American, Hispanic, or Native American
* A full-time student who is pursuing an undergraduate degree in the geosciences (geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, meteorology, physical oceanography, planetary geology, or earth science education) at an accredited college or university
* A contributor to the larger world community through her academic and personal strengths
