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.
