Seiler Geospatial / WSLS Foundation - Chapter/YSN Scholarships

Seiler Geospatial and the WSLS Foundation are pleased to sponsor eight $1,000 Chapter Scholarships and one $1,000 Young Surveyors Network Scholarship that have been established to encourage surveying students and young surveyors to engage with local Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors (WSLS) chapters. Applying for these scholarships provides many benefits including exposure to many potential employers.

These scholarships are available to students studying surveying at: 

• Northeast Wisconsin Technical College
• Madison Area Technical College
• Milwaukee Area Technical College
• Fox Valley Technical College
• University of Wisconsin-Platteville
• Mid-State Technical College
• Gateway Technical College
• Northcentral Technical College
• An out-of-state school offering a Surveying degree.

Students may apply through any of the nine WSLS Chapters. A Young Surveyor may apply through the Young Surveyors Network for the Seiler Geospatial/WSLS YSN Scholarship for tuition or other qualifying educational experience. See the requirements of a young surveyor HERE.  In order to be eligible for a scholarship the applicant must be a Wisconsin resident and attend at least one meeting of the chapter through which they are applying. A student may apply through multiple chapters as long as they meet the chapter meeting attendance requirement for each chapter. A young surveyor may attend any chapter meeting or in-person young surveyor network meeting.

The nine WSLS Chapters that co-sponsored scholarships can be found here. The scholarship recipient will be selected by the local chapter and/or the WSLS Education Committee.

Selections are based on the following:

• Chapter Participation
• Academics
• References
• Student involvement with professional organizations

Seiler Instrument also appreciates the WSLS Foundation for working with us to establish the Annual Seiler Geospatial Scholarship. This scholarship is one of eight $2,500 scholarships awarded yearly at the WSLS Annual Institute. Seiler Geospatial has awarded scholarships like this since 2006 and encourages students to submit an application.
