The Abraham Anson Scholarship is presented by the ASPRS Foundation from funds donated by the Anson bequest and contributions from the Society and the Potomac Region as a tribute to Abe Anson's many contributions to the field of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and long, dedicated service to the Society. The purpose of this award is 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. Applicants must be students currently enrolled in a college or university in the United States for the purpose of pursuing a program of study to enter a profession in which education in photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying, and mapping and geospatial science or technology disciplines will advance the value of those disciplines within that profession. 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; and 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.
