The AAPG Foundation has worked steadily to shape a program that will support veterans in furthering and completing their geologic undergraduate education. Aptly named the U.S. Military Veterans Scholarship Program (MVSP), the program offers financial support for veterans who are returning from service, re-adapting to civilian life, and focusing on achieving a degree that will ultimately pave a way for a future career in the geosciences.

The AAPG Foundation is now accepting applications for its newest program - the U.S. Military Veterans Scholarship Program. This U.S.-based program affords the opportunity for veterans to apply for $2,000 - $4,000 in funds for tuition and cost of attendance to support their undergraduate pursuits in the geosciences.
