Funds from the ILI were donated to the ASPRS Foundation to support the John O. Behrens ILI memorial Scholarship in recognition of Mr. Behrens' outstanding contributions over the many years of his distinguished career. The purpose of the award is to encourage those 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. Applicants must be students enrolled 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. 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 in land information, data management and geospatial information and technology and the academic grades received; and papers, research reports, or other items produced by the applicant that may support the capabilities in this field. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the ASPRS for more information.
