Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowships is a companion program to the University of Maryland Flagship Fellowships and the Ann G. Wylie Dissertation Fellowships.

Fellowship awards were made to 48 students in Summer 2010, and we hope to continue that in 2011. The Summer Research Fellowships will provide doctoral students the opportunity to concentrate fully on their own scholarly activities and research, for the duration of a summer, at a critical moment in their graduate studies. The specific goal of the program is to help students to take a significant step forward in their studies in a timely manner; the overall goals are to reduce timeto- degree, to increase degree completion, and to enhance the quality of thegraduate student experience.

Geography Research Scholarships 2011, New Zealand

Geography Research Scholarships 2011, New Zealand

Market Economics Geography Research Scholarships 2011 Available to Post Graduate Dissertation and Masters Thesis in Geography/GIS Students, New Zealand

Study Subject: Human/economic geography, including GIS
Employer: Market Economics
Level: Postgraduate

The purpose of the M.E Scholarships is to encourage post graduate research in the field of human/economic geography, including GIS, by rewarding demonstrated ability and lowering financial barriers. Ensuring a continued interest in these academic fields is necessary for the future health of a range of professional sectors in the New Zealand and international market place, including the future health of companies such as M.E.Through this scholarship programme, M.E hopes to demonstrate to geography students the importance and relevance of post-graduate study, and research in human/economic geography in particular (including GIS).
Post-graduate geography students develop a range of skills that are very valuable in the market place including big-picture, spatial and modelling approaches to problem solving. Although an M.E scholarship does not guarantee future employment at M.E, these are the skills M.E looks for in potential business/spatial analyst employees.
Many of M.E’s current and past staff members were post-graduate students in Geography at Auckland University. M.E is keen to foster an ongoing relationship with the Geography Department through this scholarship programme by providing a tangible ‘face’ of how geography is applied in the workplace.
