Our International Scholarship Program is designed to allow conservation GIS practitioners to attend the ESRI User Conference and SCGIS Annual Conference that are held in California every summer, and to take specialized 2-week GIS courses organized for the scholarship recipients before these two conferences.

This is not a typical scholarship program. It covers only some of the costs affiliated with the travel to and attendance at these events; only on rare occasions are we able to provide awards that cover full costs.

The Scholarship Program currently limits its support only to the regions where SCGIS international chapters and informal conservation GIS communities affiliated with SCGIS are growing or emerging, to promote further growth of these chapters and communities.
