    Application for Pennsylvania Fundamental of Geology Exam Rebate

    Note: Only apply after having received notification that you passed the FG Exam.

    Barbara J Dunst Memorial Fund

    Download Guidance Overview

    PCPG has established a Memorial Fund in memory of Barbara Dunst, PG and PCPG Past President in conjunction with the Dunst family. Barb, throughout her career, was a strong supporter of geology education and the Profession of Geology in Pennsylvania. A strong advocate of all students and women in particular, her career embodied everything a Professional Geologist should be – a consummate professional, mentor, educator and supporter of the Geosciences in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

    Purpose: The fund was established to offset the cost for the ASBOG Fundamentals of Geology (FG) examination fee administered in PA. This fund is directed to young professionals and students who desire to obtain a license to practice geology in PA and have completed the courses needed to fulfill the requirements for taking the FG exam. Upon passing the PA FG examination and completing this application within the required time frame, the applicant will be reimbursed the cost of the FG examination fee on a first-come, first-served basis.

    Deadline: This application must be submitted within six (6) months of the exam date.

    Fund Review: The Fund will accept applications within the required time frame on a first-come first-served basis.

    Exclusions:
    No reimbursements will be awarded to applicants whose employer offers an exam fee reimbursement benefit.

    Special Considerations: Special circumstances (e.g. state of residency) will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    PCPG will verify license issuance by accessing PA DOS BPOA online verification system.

    If you prefer to submit the application and required documentation by email, download the FG Exam rebate application. Instructions are provided on the form.

    Barbara J. Dunst, P.G., C.P.G. Memorial Fund

    Donate


    Dear PCPG Community,

    Barb passed away unexpectedly at Akron General Hospital on August 29, 2022.

    PCPG extends its deepest condolences to her husband Brian, their four children, her professional colleagues at Musser Engineering, Inc., where she was employed as Senior Regional Director, and all in the geologic community who had the privilege and honor to know and work with Barb throughout her career.

    With her husband’s support and guidance, PCPG plans to establish a memorial initiative honoring Barb’s boundless energy and passion both for PCPG, and geology.

    A champion of PCPG’s mission, Barb was currently serving as Communications Committee co-chair and past president. She spent nearly a decade sharing her passion through service to PCPG. While winding down her term this year, she continued to be a dedicated participant preparing for PCPG’s November strategic planning session and recently delivered the Economic Geology-Mining component of the PCPG PG Review Course webinar series. Barb served two 3-year terms as an elected board member (2013-2018), five years as Membership Services chair (2014-2018), President Elect (2019), and two 1-year terms PCPG President (2020, 2021).

    Barb will be dearly missed by the PCPG community and will be remembered in many ways, but perhaps most notably by our members as a friendly, well-respected Professional Geologist who was a continuous source of wonderful ideas – ideas that greatly strengthened and advanced our organization.
