Description

The ASPRS Government Services Scholarship is awarded annually to encourage students in the United States or Canada to pursue a course of study in photogrammetry and related topics leading to a career in the geospatial mapping profession in the government sector (federal, state, or local) within the United States. The scholarship also encourages geospatial professionals already in government service to pursue advanced degrees and provides a preference to U.S. veterans. Applicants must be upper-level undergraduate or graduate students, enrolled in a college or university in the United States or Canada. Applicants must be active or student members of ASPRS. Applicants must submit two letters of reference from faculty members or professionals who have knowledge of the applicant's capabilities. In addition to the general requirements, applicants must also submit a listing of courses taken or planned in photogrammetry and related geospatial information technologies, recognizing that instruction in remote sensing is often embedded in courses taught in many different disciplines; a listing of internships, special projects, or work experience; technical papers, research reports or other documents; courses taught as a lecturer or teaching assistant; and presentations made that demonstrate the applicant's capabilities in this field.
