The David Kronen Casting and Molding Grant

2024 Corporate Sponsor
AAPS
David Kronen

The David Kronen Casting and Molding Grant is a $1,000 grant created to support the casting, molding, and/or 3D scanning and printing of commercially collected paleontological specimens. It is available to any interested party working on a commercially collected specimen, with the condition that replicas of the specimen be used to further public education and/or research. At least one replica must be donated to a public museum, school, or university.

The grant may be used to pay for the design and construction of molds, costs of scanning and printing, and any tools and materials needed to finish this process.

The grant application must include a description of the specimen/s being worked on, the applicant's name, a proposed timeline to finish the project, and the proposed cost. The application should also include a resume/curriculum vitae and photo of the applicant.

Awardees will be asked to provide pictures of their final product, as well as information about the specific research/educational programs their replica will be used to further.

Starting in 2021, applicants from outside of the United States must have a bank account in their name, that will accept wire transfers from the United States of America. AAPS will no longer mail award payments in the form of a check to other countries.

If you are interested, you may submit an application explaining the focus of your project.

Your application must include the following:

1. A Cover Letter outlining your project as noted above, including a summary of what the grant is needed for.

2. A current Curriculum Vitae, College Transcript or Resume.

3. A current photograph of the applicant, (this picture may be emailed, but must be at least 400 pixels X 600 pixels and 72 dpi)

The application must be received by November 1st, to be considered for the following calendar year. Incomplete submissions, not containing the required documentation or submissions recieved after November 1st will be returned to the submitter. You may send your application to: George Winters, Administrative Director, george@stonejungle.com, or mail it to George F. Winters, 96 E 700 S, Logan, UT 84321-5555.

Funding for this Grant will come from the AAPS, as well as annual private donations from Individuals ($100.00), Company ($500.00) and Corporate ($1,000.00) sponsors.
