In
order to support the
teaching of micropalaeontology at all BSc, MSc and equivalent levels,
as well as to encourage and reward student engagement and achievement
in this field, The Micropalaeontological Society announces the
establishment of TMS Student Awards.
Each award consists of 1
year free membership in the Society, including two issues of Journal of
Micropalaeontology and Newsletter of Micropalaeontology, discount on
TMS and GSPH publications, discounted registration fees at TMS
specialist group meetings, eligibility for awards and grants-in-aid.
The awards are given
annually by tutors of micropalaeontology courses. Only one award per
year per institution may be given. Nominating tutors must be members of
TMS and they must send a brief description of the course to TMS
Secretary, who will confirm in writing that the given course is
approved for the award. The Secretary will keep a list of registered
micropalaeontology courses, conferring with the Committee when
necessary. Course tutors of registered courses may then give the award
at any time of the year on the basis of any criteria to students deemed
to have achieved meritorious grades. The tutor reports the name and
address of the awardee, as well as a brief statement on the criteria
used to select the awardee, to the Secretary, who will collate a list
of citations to be tabled each year at the AGM and printed in the
Newsletter.
Information for
Tutors: In order to register a micropalaeontology course at
your institute, please fill in the form
and send to TMS Secretary.
You only need to do this once, unless the course has changed or you
wish to report a different course for the award scheme. Tutors are
welcome to submit the form electronically.
