The nomination
period is from January 15 to April 15,
2021. Institutions may submit their candidate’s name and email address
at any time during this period.
If you will be
unable to select a candidate before the end of this period, you must contact
the Scholarship Coordinator at Esri Canada as soon as possible to arrange for
an extension. No candidates will be
accepted after June 1, 2021. Any institution that fails to name a candidate
by June 1 will forfeit their scholarship for 2021.

Supporting Documents
In addition to

- Deliverables:
It is the candidate’s responsibility to provide these documents. Institutions should not submit any documents, particularly any documents containing personal information such as address and phone number, without the candidate’s express written permission. All documents should be submitted electronically through the scholars web portal. Hard copies are not required. Note that the candidate will not be confirmed as a scholarship recipient and will not receive the award until all the required information and documents are received.

Students receiving a cash-only award, aka GIS Award recipients, must provide the same information and supporting documents as scholarship recipients. They must also submit evidence of their use of Esri technology, either through a poster or story map.
Published 2020/11/25 by Scholarship Administrator
Each candidate must
submit a poster and a report demonstrating their use of Esri technology in a
special project, lab work, or interesting research use in a specific setting
(e.g., promoting education, conservation, disaster response, urban planning,
business, engineering, social science, etc.). Information about the required
format is available online through the scholars web portal and can also be
requested from the Scholarship Coordinator.
The poster and
report must be received by June 1. A
candidate will not be confirmed as a scholarship recipient and the award will
not be processed until these documents have been received. Requests for
exceptions or extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If a candidate
has not submitted the required deliverables AND has not arranged for an
extension by June 1, they will forfeit their scholarship.
Candidates are encouraged to submit their report as a story map instead of a formal written report. The story map must be shared to the 2021 Esri Canada GIS Scholarship Recipients group in ArcGIS Online and preferably be shared publicly.

No. With all in-person events currently on hold, students will not have any opportunities to present their work or have their posters displayed at Esri Canada User Conferences. Students are therefore encouraged to upload their poster to their profile in the scholars portal and to share their work through a story map.
