Who We've Helped
In its inaugural year, the AAPG Foundation Field Camp Scholarship Program received 133 scholarship applications. Of those, 30 undergraduate students attending U.S. universities and colleges were awarded $3,000 each to attend field camp in 2025. Funding for this scholarship program is made possible by the L.
