AIPG-TX

The time to apply for a scholarship is now. The Texas Chapter of the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG-TX) offers scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Texas universities. Over the years, the Officers and the Advisory Board of Directors of the Texas AIPG raise funds for the scholarships from: 1) sponsored training programs, such as the GeoDayz programs held on even years, 2) field trips to various areas of geological interest in Texas, and 3) and webinars managed by members of the Texas Board.

The Ted H. Foss Scholarship is offered for undergraduates ($1,000.00) and the Gene M. Shoemaker Scholarship is offered for qualified graduate students ($2,500.00).

Applications are due on or before February 1, 2024. The Scholarship Committee will review the applications and make the announcement of the selections on March 1, 2024 by the Chair of the Scholarship Committee, Dr. Regina Capuano of the University of Houston.

Before you apply for a scholarship from the Texas Chapter of the AIPG, you need to be a student member. This is free. Fill out the form (more) and send it off to our National Office in Colorado with a copy to the Texas Section for confirmation. Be aware that the National Office of AIPG also awards separate undergraduate and graduate student scholarships to university students around the U.S. This webpage discusses only the Texas Section scholarships for students attending Texas universities.
