Student Resources
One of the most valuable things we can do for our industry is offer guidance and support to our next generation of land professionals. We invite all students interested in landwork to look into the programs below.
The Landman Scholarship Trust
The Landman Scholarship Trust is a non-profit trust created by AAPL in 1959 for educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Since its inception, the Trust has awarded over $2 million in student scholarships.
Student Scholarships
Each year the Trust awards cash scholarships to qualified and deserving undergraduate and graduate students from colleges or universities which offer an active and accredited curriculum in Natural Resources Management or similar curriculum who wish to further their training in professional land work, Natural Resources Management or associated occupations.
AAPL Accredited Colleges and Universities
Outstanding Graduate Award
The Trust encourages all students to excel in their educational endeavors. To further this mission, the Trust recognizes an Outstanding Graduate each year from among the graduates of AAPL’s accredited college or university programs who is pursuing a career as a landman and has demonstrated great leadership in their work, extracurricular activities and their student landmen’s association.
Student Membership in AAPL
Each year the Trust funds the annual AAPL membership fee for all students attending an AAPL accredited college or university program.
Cash Awards to Colleges and Universities
Trustees are also authorized to award cash contributions to colleges or universities which offer an active and accredited curriculum in Natural Resources Management or similar curriculum if used to promote interest in the curriculum or for related student activities.
Applications
Applications for student scholarships and the Outstanding Graduate Award are accepted each year between December 1 and January 15. Applications for cash awards may be submitted at any time. To obtain a student scholarship application, an Outstanding Graduate Award application or an application for a cash award, please contact AAPL’s Director of Education & Member Services at (817) 847-7700 or send an email to aapl@landman.org.
