NSPS and AAGS Scholarships 

Each year, through the National Society of Professional Surveyors Foundation (NSPSF), over $30,000 in scholarships funded by a variety of individuals, companies, and organizations are made available to encourage and support college education in geospatial sciences. These scholarships are a great opportunity for college students in surveying, mapping, geographic information systems, and geodetic science programs.

AAGS Student Membership ($1.00) is required if you apply for Category 2 - $2000 AAGS Graduate Fellowship Award or Category 3 - $2000 AAGS Joseph F. Dracup Scholarship Award.

NSPS Student Membership ($10.00) is required for all others

NSPS and Surveying State Societies/Associations give out approximately $350,000.00 in scholarships each year. To visit each state society website and find out what scholarships are offered Click Here

The Presidential Scholarship was established to attract students who may not have the opportunity to further their associate's degree in applied science in their own state. Qualified candidates will receive a waiver of the fee normally assessed non-New Jersey residents, reducing tuition to that of a New Jersey resident.

Scholarship recipients are expected to maintain a grade point average of 3.0 (B) or better. Each student's academic record is reviewed annually at the conclusion of the spring semester.

Scholarship qualifications:

  • Completion of AAS degree before beginning studies at NJIT
  • Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • US citizen or permanent resident status

There is no special application form required. Students must complete and submit an application for admission to NJIT, along with the non-refundable fee. All qualified applicants will be notified by mail. The application deadline is June 1 for the Fall semester and December 1 for the Spring semester.
