About the program

The Grants-in-Aid program promotes graduate-level research in the geosciences. A joint program of the AAPG Foundation and the AAPG, grants are made annually to provide financial assistance to graduate students (currently enrolled in Masters or Ph.D. programs) whose thesis research has application to the search for and development of petroleum and energy-mineral resources and/or to related environmental geology issues. The program includes special grants named after individuals and institutions that have made substantial contributions to the Foundation, petroleum and energy-mineral sciences, teaching, or research. For a list of these grants, please see http://foundation.aapg.org/students/graduate/grantlist.cfm.
