Dr. James O. Jones Endowed Memorial Scholarship

The Dr. James O. Jones Endowed Memorial Scholarship was established in 2003 by family, friends, students and colleagues to honor Dr. James O. Jones, one of the founding professors of the Geology Program. Dr. Jones taught at UTSA from 1977-1999. He maintained a long-term field research program in the eastern Permian Basin (North-central Texas) and also had an extraordinary professional service record at the local, regional, national and international levels. Most students from the 1980’s best remember him for the summer field camp program he ran at that time.
