Annual scholarships from the Cartography and Geographic Information Society for master's and doctoral students doing original research in cartography or geographic information science. Recent cycles have funded two master's awards and two doctoral awards, judged on academic achievement, a statement of goals, a reference letter, professional activity, and demonstrated potential for research that advances the discipline. Recipients are announced each June and the society lists winners going back to 2013. The awards page does not publish current amounts or the application deadline, so contact the executive director for the open window.
