USGIF Selects 2020 Scholarship Winners

August 31, 2020 By lbszoneditor

The 2020 scholarship winners demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of the field of GEOINT

Herndon, Virginia (August 31, 2020)—The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) awarded $103,000 in scholarships this year to individuals studying geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) and related topics. The recipients chosen this year by our dedicated scholarship committee demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of the field of GEOINT. These students come from all walks of life: geography/geospatial technologies and analytics, computer science, meteorology, ecology, geosciences, law and diplomacy, nuclear submarine warfare experts, and speakers of Mandarin and French. But they are guided by a common goal: thirst for knowledge.

Since the USGIF Scholarship Program began in 2004, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.3 million to students with aspirations in GEOINT to further the advancement of the geospatial tradecraft. USGIF is dedicated to assist promising students studying GEOINT, geospatial sciences, and related fields. It also recognizes the achievements of graduating high school seniors, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students.

USGIF offers $5,000 scholarships annually to outstanding doctoral candidates, graduate students, and undergraduate students as well as $2,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors. The Stu Shea USGIF Endowed Scholarship, which was awarded earlier this year, recognizes a Ph.D. student studying cartography, geography, or imaging science.
