President Wise Also Announces that there will be Scholarships Awarded in 2021.
President Wise also announced today that in 2019 and 2020 no scholarships could be awarded becasue of the cost required to defend the Licencing Board from attacks by the Sunshine Commission, amounting to some $6,000. Although the defense was successful, that effort drained the AIPG Section bank account.
Now, we have built back some funds, but due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic that required us to postpone fund-raising Section field trips and GeoDayz training activities, only two scholarships will be offered this coming spring of 2021, a Foss Undergraduate Scholarship and a Shoemaker Graduate Scholarship. For more information go to Scholarships | AIPG-TX.
Due Date for Applications: May 1, 2021. Send to: Henry Wise, President
