ASPRS and the ASPRS Foundation Announce the New ASPRS James M. Anderson Scholarship

Baton Rouge, LA: The Awards Committee of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) and the ASPRS Foundation announce the new ASPRS James M. Anderson Scholarship for the 2026 application cycle. The scholarship will be for the initial amount of $2,000, with potential for the award amount to grow in future years.

This scholarship, to be awarded annually, is designed to encourage upper-division, undergraduate-level and graduate-level college students to pursue a course of study in photogrammetry and related topics leading to a career in the geospatial mapping profession.

An eligible candidate who wishes to be considered for the scholarship must submit an on-line application that includes the following items:

• A listing of courses taken, and/or those to be taken, in photogrammetry and other related geospatial information technologies, recognizing that instruction in remote sensing is often embedded in courses taught in many different disciplines.
• A transcript of all college/university level courses or high school courses for applicants entering directly from high school completed and grades received to demonstrate scholastic ability.
• 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 demonstrate the applicant’s capabilities in this field.
• Two letters of recommendation from faculty members or professionals having knowledge of the applicant’s capabilities (demonstrated or potential).
• A statement, not to exceed 1000 words, detailing the applicant’s educational and research goals that relate to the advancement of photogrammetry and related geospatial information technologies and the applications of these technologies.

Further information and application details will be available on the ASPRS web site in the early Fall.
Established in 1934, the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) is a scientific association serving over 2,000 professional members around the world, providing its members professional development through education and networking experiences, professional certification, publications, scholarships, and other services. ASPRS advances the knowledge and improves understanding of mapping sciences to promote the responsible applications of photogrammetry, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS) and supporting technologies.
Established in 1979, the ASPRS Foundation is a tax-exempt organization with the primary purpose to advance the understanding and use of spatial data for the betterment of humankind and the effective operation of public and private organizations. The Foundation’s mission is to establish an extensive and broadly-based program that provides grants, scholarships, loans and other forms of aid to individuals or organizations pursuing knowledge of imaging and geospatial information science and technology, and their applications across the scientific, governmental, and commercial sectors. A key goal of the Foundation is to fully endow all existing ASPRS awards and scholarships in a manner that, at a minimum, keeps up with inflation.
