The goal of the Foundation is to encourage and support students who attend elementary, middle, and high schools within Oklahoma, and are enrolled in an Earth Science curriculum or related fields while providing financial support for teachers and their schools that maintain those curriculums.  At the college and university levels, financial support is afforded to students in the science of Geology and related Geosciences and to those who plan to pursue a career in the Geoscience profession.

The Foundation, Kate, Takken, and Davis Fellowship Awards provide outstanding graduate students with support and recognition and affords them the opportunity to publish the title of their thesis or dissertation in the Foundation awards publication.  The Rick Black and Foundation Field Camp Grants give financial support to undergraduate students attending compulsory geology field camps. This year, the Foundation will present awards to Oklahoma State University, Tulsa University, and the University of Oklahoma. Other Grants given by the Foundation will also be included during the program.

As a sponsor, you will be recognized at the Ronnie K. Irani Oklahoma Geological Foundation Awards Banquet, and your sponsorship will be acknowledged on the Foundation website.  Sponsorship levels range from $100 to $5000.
