Organizers of Geo Week announced the launch of the Geo Empower Event Scholarship, an initiative dedicated to empowering university students passionate about utilizing geospatial, surveying, mapping, and 3D technology for social good.
With a vision to foster an inclusive and diverse community, this scholarship program seeks to nurture innovation, facilitate knowledge exchange, and provide access to mentoring and networking opportunities by selecting university students to attend Geo Week through an event scholarship.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Geo Empower Event Scholarship,” said Lora Burns, Senior Marketing Manager and DEI Manager at Geo Week. “Geospatial technology is transforming how we address challenges like environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster response. We are dedicated to investing in the next generation of geospatial leaders who will use technology to better their communities, and we aim to provide a powerful platform for mentorship and education early in their careers. This scholarship will empower younger generations seeking access to opportunities in the field.”
Geo Week is seeking Geo Empower Event Scholarship applications from students currently studying at a university in the United States who are passionate about using technology to positively impact social and environmental impacts.
Three students will be selected as Geo Empower Event Scholarship recipients. They will receive a full conference pass to Geo Week, complimentary hotel accommodations, a travel stipend towards airfare, and mentorship matching onsite with geospatial professionals in leadership positions.
