Description

The Lyman J. Ladner Memorial Scholarship is presented by ASPRS through the ASPRS Foundation from funds donated by his family, colleagues and friends of Lyman Ladner as a memorial to his lifetime contributions to the photogrammetric profession and his support for fellow employees. The purpose of the award is to encourage undergraduate and graduate level college students to pursue a course of study in surveying and photogrammetry leading to a career in the geospatial mapping profession. Applicants must be an undergraduate or a graduate student currently enrolled in a college or university in the United States or Canada, who is pursuing a program of study in 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/or those to be taken, in photogrammetry and other 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 may support the applicant's capabilities in this field.
