Purpose
The Panhandle Geological Society Scholarship provides financial assistance to a qualifying student pursuing a degree in geology or a related geoscience field with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. The scholarship recognizes academic achievement and interest in the geosciences, with preference given to students with ties to the Texas Panhandle and surrounding region.
