Master's Thesis Research Grant
Applicant must be a current member of the AAG and the Cartography Specialty Group.
Enrolled Master’s students are invited to apply for the Cartography Specialty Group (CSG) Master’s Thesis Research Grants. These grants are intended to promote scholarly research in cartography by students enrolled in Geography or a related degree program. Grants are available up to a maximum of $500 and may be used for items necessary and relevant to research, such as travel, materials, equipment, and human subject fees.
The application is available from the CSG website at http://www.csun.edu/~hfgeg003/csg/msgrant/grantapp.html. Application must include:
1. Applicant information
2. Advisor information
3. Title of thesis
4. Description of Research Plan
5. Budget
Note that the applicant and the advisor are jointly responsible for the accuracy and validity of all information on the application. In addition, you must receive approval from the human subjects review board at the institution where you are currently enrolled before funding will be awarded for research involving human subjects.
Research must be cartographic in nature. Cartography must be the central issue (not just a tool for other research).
Does not provide funding for travel to conferences.
