AAPG Foundation Scholarships and Grants

The AAPG Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) entity that supports deserving undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing degrees related to geology or Earth science. Learn more about the AAPG Foundation.

Student Chapters

AAPG Student Chapters are groups of geology or geoscience students at local universities or colleges. They have their own leadership and are guided by a faculty advisor, who is also an AAPG member. With over 245 chapters, there are more opportunities than ever to get plugged in locally at your school. Learn more about the ways to get involved at AAPG's Student Center.

Hedberg Research Conferences

From time to time the AAPG Research Committee selects a topic for critical examination. Scientists from various disciplines (geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, etc.) are invited to discuss state-of-the-art concepts, methodologies, case histories, and future directions relating to this subject. The conferences are held in informal small-group, settings led by expert speakers.
