Criteria for Roepke Scholarship Selection
Students must have declared Geography and Geographic Information Science as their major. Undergraduate Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis. The GGIS Undergraduate Committee, composed of three GGIS faculty members, will select recipients for these awards. Criteria for selection will be based on academic performance and relevance of the required essay. Also, Research Opportunities requiring specific analytical or technical skills may also limit selection to qualified students. Financial awards will be deposited directly into students' accounts. Students are only eligible for one Roepke Scholarship per academic year.
