NSPS Trig-Star scholarship winner selected

 

A few years ago, NSPS created a scholarship for which any high school senior can apply if they have participated in Trig-Star at some point during their high school career, and plan to enroll in a college degree program leading to either a two-year Associates, or four-year Bachelor’s degree in surveying and mapping. The applicants are not required to have won a Trig-Star competition at any level; however, the scholarship will not be issued until the student provides proof of enrollment in an eligible program.

NSPS is proud to announce that the 2015 Trig-Star scholarship is to be presented to Leah Portnoff, 2015 graduate of Liberty High School in Madera, CA. Leah plans to attend the University of California, Fresno to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in the school’s well known ABET-accredited Geomatics Engineering program.

Through a club at school, Leah has been able to take a position as a Land Surveyor Technician in a local surveying company, regarding which she says, “it urges me to learn more about transportation, its role in society, and to become a licensed land surveyor”.

NSPS congratulates Leah on her accomplishments thus far, and looks forward to welcoming her to the professional surveying community in a few years.
