JOHN O. BEHRENS Institute for Land Information ( ILI )MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCED BY ASPRS

The ASPRS Foundation has just announced the JOHN O. BEHRENS Institute for Land Information MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. The purpose of the Award is to encourage students/persons who have an exceptional interest in pursuing scientific research or education in geospatial science or technology or land information systems/records to enter a professional field where they can use the knowledge of this discipline to excel in their profession. Initially, this annual scholarship will consist of a certificate and a check in the amount of $1,000 and a one-year student membership (new or renewal) in the Society.

The Scholarship is made to an under-graduate student currently enrolled or intending to enroll in a college or university in the United States for the purpose of pursuing a program of study that prepares them to enter a profession in which education in geospatial science or land information disciplines will advance the value of those disciplines within that profession.
Please note that the deadline for scholarship applications this year is FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2008. This is two months earlier than usual and has necessitated the earlier deadline due to the earlier date of the 2009 Annual Conference (March 9-13 2009).
