[ES_JOBS_NET] 2018 CaGIS Student Scholarships - deadline 1/19/18

[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

Each year, the Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS)
sponsors three scholarships to students whose research and accomplishments
support the mission of CaGIS. The scholarships recognize academic
achievement and encourage the continuing success of outstanding cartography
and geographic information science students. The scholarships also
recognize achievement or potential for achievement in original research
advancing the specific disciplines of cartography or GIScience. Winners are
selected based on academic achievement, particularly in the calendar year
prior to the award.


*Awards CaGIS Masters Scholarship Award*: Two outstanding candidates will
each receive $750. Winners will have demonstrated excellence in cartography
or GIScience coursework and the potential to contribute to cartography or
GIScience research.

*CaGIS Doctoral Scholarship Award:* One outstanding candidate will receive
$1,500. The winner will have demonstrated excellence in cartography or
GIScience coursework and the potential to contribute to cartography or
GIScience research.


Winners of both awards are invited to submit their research at an upcoming
CaGIS-sponsored conference (such as AAG, GIScience, or AutoCarto) and may
be eligible for limited travel or registration support if they choose to
present.
