Local college students interested in earth sciences can apply for a new scholarship from the Marysville Rock and Gem Club.
The $500 scholarship will be awarded to a college sophomore, with 45 to 90 credits, who is majoring in geology or earth sciences at a local college or university.
Applicants will be scored on scholarship, goals, financial need, references and an intent to continue studies in the earth sciences.
