Honorary Award Recipients and Grants to Students:
Grants made by the Foundation are restricted to graduate students who are majoring in one of the Earth Sciences, since our joint interests lie in this field. Currently, two $4000 grants are given each year in the Rocky Mountain Federation. The first Foundation Scholarship Grant became possible in 1965. Our first Honorary Award Winner was Dr. Richard M. Pearl, associate Professor of Geology at Colorado College. The student he chose to receive our first grant was Victor Lee who was attending the Colorado School of Mines. The AFMS Scholarship Foun-dation has awarded more than $1.7 million since that time.
