The Abraham Anson Scholarship aims to encourage students who have an exceptional interest in pursuing scientific research or education in geospatial science or technology related to photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying, and mapping to enter a professional field where they can use the knowledge of their discipline to excel in their profession. The award is made to a student currently enrolled in a college or university in the United States. Applicants must submit the application form, the general statement, transcripts, and two reference letters. In addition, this award requires a listing of courses taken or to be taken in photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying and mapping, data management, and geospatial science or technology disciplines recognizing that instruction in remote sensing and geo sciences is often taught in many disciplines and listings that may include internships, other forms of work experience, special projects, papers, research reports, courses taught as a teaching assistant or other items produced by the applicant that may support the capabilities in this field.
