Each year, the AAPS offers two $1,000.00
scholarships to graduate level students in
paleontology attending universities worldwide.
The two scholarships are given in the names of
the James R. Welch Scholarship (for studies in
macro invertebrate fossils), and the Charles
Sternberg Scholarship (for studies in macro
vertebrate fossils). These scholarships are
awarded by the AAPS Board of Directors with
majority vote of the membership.
The deadline for submitting applications is
December 31, 2025 in order to be considered
for a 2026 scholarship (announced in
February).
James
R. Welch Scholarship The James R.
Welch Scholarship was created in 1990 in honor
of James Welch, of Montana Geological
Materials, from Billings, Montana, who died of
a heart attack while collecting fossils at
Glass Mountain, in the Permian deposits of
Texas. This scholarship is meant to assist
graduate level students doing research in
macro invertebrate fossils.
Charles
H. Sternberg Scholarship The
Charles H. Sternberg Scholarship was created
in 1992 in honor of Charles Sternberg, the
patriarch of the Sternberg family of
commercial fossil collectors during the late
1800s and early 1900s. The family discovered
many important fossil specimens that can,
today, be seen in museums around the world.
This scholarship is intended to assist
graduate level students carrying out research
in macro vertebrate fossils.
