The Dennis Becker Canadian Foundation for Geotechnique M.Sc. Student Award was established in 2018. The Canadian Foundation for Geotechnique is offering a $5,000(CAD) award to a full-time post-graduate student at a master’s level attending a Canadian university whose research focus is directly related to the field of geotechnique.
The award is granted primarily on the basis of academic excellence, the purpose and relevance of the research project to the practice of geotechnique, and the quality of the research summary. Eligible programs include geotechnical engineering, mining engineering, geoenvironmental or geoscience, engineering geology, and hydrogeology. Students who have displayed activity in volunteer or leadership roles in geotechnique will receive special consideration. The Award Committee also requires that the supervisor of the master’s student provide a statement endorsing the application.
Nominations for this year’s Dennis Becker Canadian Foundation for Geotechnique M.Sc. Student Award will be accepted until May 17, 2024 by Kshama Roy at kshama.roy@dnv.com. Further details and the application form are available on the Education Committee page of the CGS website.
