On To the Future Fund

The Geological Society of America’s On To the Future® (OTF) program engages geoscience scholars. Among other supports, it equips them to:

  • Join GSA
  • Attend GSA Connects and/or regional annual conferences such as GSA Section Meetings by providing travel funding, meeting registration, and GSA membership
  • Engage with expert professional mentorship
  • Network, find community, and build social capital within the geosciences discipline
  • Participate in special sessions with GSA leadership during the meeting

In addition, the On To the Future® program provides opportunities for geosciences professionals across all employment sectors (private sector, public sector, academia) and career stages to contribute their expertise as mentors to OTF scholars.

Initiated in 2013 with support from the GSA President, Council, and Foundation, the program formed part of GSA’s 125th anniversary celebrations. With funding from individual members and donors, corporate sponsors, and GSA’s Sections, Divisions, and Associated Societies, OTF will continue to support geoscience scholars and mentors to attend GSA Connects and/or regional annual conferences.
