Abstract
The Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists Research Foundation (ASEG RF) has been in existence since 25 September 1989 and to date has supported 115 projects and committed over $1 000 000 to support geophysical students at BSc (Honours), MSc and PhD levels at 13 universities in Australia. The ASEG RF is run by a committee of volunteers from academia, minerals, petroleum, engineering and environmental facets of the exploration geophysical industry. This article describes the origins of the ASEG RF as well as key statistics relating to the foundation’s activities. Several recipients of foundation grants tell the story of what the grants have meant to their studies and the paths their careers have taken. Also highlighted are the grant application process and the source of funds and donations as well as committee roles.
