The purpose of the Robert N. Colwell Fellowship is to encourage and commend college or university graduate students at the PhD level who display exceptional interest, desire, ability, and aptitude in the field of remote sensing technologies, and who have a special interest in developing practical uses of these technologies. Students must be a PhD level graduate student enrolled in the United States or Canada who is pursuing a program of study aimed at starting a professional career where expertise is required in remote sensing or other related geospatial information technologies. 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 second statement; a listing of courses taken, and/or those to be taken, in remote sensing or 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. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the ASPRS for more information.
