For each biannual NC GIS Conference, NC State University can select one undergraduate student and one graduate student as winners of the G. Herbert Stout Award for Innovative Student Papers. The Herb Stout Student Award recognizes GIS scholarship by students who have developed an innovative geospatial research project and includes free registration for the conference and a $200 prize. All awardees will make a 15–20-minute presentation at the conference on a GIS topic and will be recognized at the conference’s closing luncheon.
