**The Edward and Anna Range Schmidt Charitable Trust**

The Schmidt Charitable Trust was established in 1993 to encourage and assist promising Alaska Native and other minority students to pursue education in the earth and environmental sciences.
With education in these areas students can prepare for future roles in science-based land planning and management of Alaska’s natural resources; conservation and development of Alaska’s natural resources; stewardship of Alaska’s environment; and research in earth history and processes.
