In its continuing efforts to support and build awareness for the Remote Sensing and GIS / Geospatial Sciences, the Rocky Mountain Region of ASPRS is proud to announce its academic scholarship program for 2020-2021. The ASPRS-RMR offers scholarships to deserving undergraduate and graduate students every year. There will be at least one scholarship awarded (assuming sufficient applications are received) in the range of at least $500 to $1,000 each, depending on level of study (Bachelor’s, Master’s or Ph.D.).
The scholarships are intended for full-time students throughout the Rocky Mountain Region (Montana, Southern Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico) who demonstrate excellence while pursuing careers in the fields of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or related disciplines. Both undergraduate and graduate students of any third-level educational institution within the four-state region who are pursuing careers in these disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Awards will be presented sometime in the first quarter of 2021. Preference will be given to those studies that apply sound scientific principles to practical applications in the geospatial sciences (including Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, and related disciplines). Awards at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels are based on academic merit; that is, the application form does not request any personal financial data.
Student membership in ASPRS is not required to apply, but if selected, membership is required before the scholarship is awarded.
