HGMS seeks to raise awareness of Earth Science and Lapidary Arts education in the Greater Houston area. To this end, HGMS is proud to offer one Scholarship at this time. The Scholarship may be awarded to a student majoring in an Earth Science or a Lapidary Arts curriculum. The applicant must have completed his or her sophomore year in a four-year college or university or be transferring into such college or university after successfully completing the course of study offered by a two-year Texas college.

The scholarship is awarded based upon merit. The HGMS Earth Science/Jewelry Arts Scholarship may be awarded to an individual student only a single time.
