University of Maine

How will your program use the prize money to engage your students with other professionals, introduce them to both historical and new technology, and promote licensure?

The prize money will be used to:

1. Pay for students to attend the NSPS national student competition
2. Pay for students to attend regional and state surveying society meetings
3. Pay for students to attend national, regional, and state vendor meetings/shows
4. Encourage access to study materials and training for professional licensure exams
5. Pay for scholarships so students can complete their degree and thus seek licensure efficiently
6. Pay for upgrades to existing technology which has become dated
7. Pay for better technology for building our multimedia education facility
8. Pay for advertising of education options in surveying at the University of Maine
