 Title: CaGIS Scholarship Award

 Sponsor: American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM)

 SYNOPSIS:
 The sponsor awards two scholarships to CaGIS student members,
 recognizing academic achievement and encouraging the continuing
 education of outstanding cartography, geographic information systems
 (GIS), and geographic information science (GIScience) students.
 Scholarships are awarded for research advancing the disciplines of
 cartography or GIScience rather than research applying GIS or mapping
 as a technique.

 OBJECTIVES:
 Two awards are made:
 CaGIS Masters Scholarship Award: granted to a student enrolled in,
 or accepted into, a Masters' degree program during 2009 or 2010. The
 winner will have demonstrated excellence in cartography or GIScience
 coursework and the potential to contribute to cartography or GIScience
 research.
 CaGIS Doctoral Scholarship: granted to a student enrolled in, or
 accepted into, a PhD degree program during 2009 or 2010. The winner
 will have demonstrated excellence in cartography or GIScience
 coursework and the potential to contribute to cartography or GIScience
 research.


 ELIGIBILITY
 Candidates must be enrolled full-time in a four-year undergraduate
 or graduate degree program during 2009 or 2010, studying cartography,
 geographic information science, or a closely related field. Prior
 scholarship winners are eligible to apply in subsequent years if all
 appropriate criteria are satisfied. Undergraduate applicants who have
 not yet been accepted into graduate school should request that their
 faculty advisor assess their potential for graduate study in their
 reference letter. Outstanding undergraduates seeking to support
 Masters' level research in GIScience are also eligible to apply for
 the CaGIS Masters Scholarship Award.

 FUNDING
 The CaGIS Masters Scholarship is $500. The CaGIS Doctoral Scholarship is $1,000 (jap)
