Is financial aid available to students interested in the atmospheric sciences?
Aside from the numerous financial aid programs offered by colleges and universities, there are several scholarship programs administered by the American Meteorological Society. Contact the AMS for information. Summer intern programs with a stipend are provided to undergraduate students through the National Council of Industrial Meteorologists. Check with the Meteorology Department office at the college and university for details.
The military weather services in the Air Force and Navy are a career option. If you choose to enter as a commissioned officer, you’ll normally be awarded a ROTC scholarship to complete your bachelor’s degree. After graduation, you attend Officer Training School.
