Rex Monahan Geological Scholarship
The Colorado Section's Rex Monahan Geological Scholarship Fund was started by generous gifts from Rex Monahan of Sterling, CO. Subsequently, donations from individual members and from the Section's Treasury have increased the principal in the fund to over $40,000. The Section generally awards two $2,000 scholarships each year, one to an undergraduate and one to a graduate student. Awardees must be registered at a Colorado college or university with a recognized geoscience program and be a Student member of AIPG. The Section selects recipients for the Rex Monahan Geological Scholarship from Colorado applicants to National AIPG’s undergraduate and graduate scholarship programs. Therefore, students who wish to be considered for the Colorado Section’s scholarship must apply through the National AIPG scholarship program. It is not necessary to specify that you wish to be considered for the Rex Monahan Geological Scholarship as any student from a Colorado college or university will be automatically considered.
