“Students use these grants to help them gain important geological field and analytical experience,” explained Ashraf Uddin, professor of geosciences. “I am proud of these three successful Auburn University students who won AAPG Grants-in-Aid In 2019. Two of the students received the maximum grant of $3,000 and the other student received $2,000.”

The students are:
