Applications were accepted from currently-enrolled, upper-division or graduate students who are U.S. Citizens studying any field of earth science or engineering, and who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher.
            Receiving a $4,000 award from the Marvolene Speed Bennett and Carleton D. Speed, Jr. Endowed Fund is Scott Gifford, a master’s degree student in geology at Texas A&M University.

            Since its founding in 1981, the SIPES Foundation has awarded scholarships to 254 promising earth science and engineering students.  Funding for the 2019 awards was made possible through generous donations from SIPES Members and bequests from the Foundation’s endowed funds above.  The SIPES Foundation also conducts educational seminars, contributes funding to earth science publications and continuing education programs, and maintains a library of earth science films.
            The Society of Independent Professional Earth Scientists is a national organization of more than 900 self-employed geologists, geophysicists and engineers engaged primarily in domestic energy exploration and development. SIPES has eleven chapters located in oil and gas centers of the United States.
