Description

The Francis H. Moffitt Scholarship is presented by ASPRS through the ASPRS Foundation from funds donated by students, associates, colleagues, and friends of Frank Moffitt as a memorial to his lifetime contributions to the photogrammetric surveying profession. The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage undergraduate college students to pursue a course of study in surveying and photogrammetry leading to a career in the geospatial mapping profession. Applicants must be students currently enrolled in a college or university in the United States or Canada, who are pursuing a program of study in surveying or photogrammetry leading to a career in the geospatial mapping profession. 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, and those to be taken, in surveying and photogrammetry and other related geospatial information technologies, recognizing that instruction in remote sensing is often embedded in courses taught in many different disciplines; and a listing of work experience and internships; technical papers, research reports or other publications; courses taught as a lecturer or teaching assistant; and presentations made that may support the applicant's capabilities in this field.
