UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS
Additionally, the University of Montana and Montana State University offer scholarships based on endowment funds that MAGIP contributed to:
- MSU Earth Sciences Graduate Scholarships
- UM Zuuring/MAGIP Scholarship: The Zuuring-MAGIP Graduate GIS Scholarship provides scholarships for first-year graduate students who are in good standing at the University of Montana. Recipients may study any discipline, but must be working on a project that incorporates Geographic Information System sciences and technologies as a significant part of their thesis or dissertation research. Projects must have a reasonable chance of completion within 1.5 years or less and selection shall be weighted heavily on the strength of the proposal. (Strength of GIS sciences and technologies is more important than financial need; however, financial need may be used as a secondary criterion in recipient selection.) Hans Zuuring established the scholarship. He was key to implementing the GIS academic program at the University of Montana. The scholarship is available through the W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation
