Surveying and Mapping Society of Georgia

Surveying and Mapping Society of Georgia supports education and career entry in land surveying within Georgia. Its scholarship activity centers on students preparing for surveying-related study and professional practice in the state, with a clear emphasis on building the future workforce for land surveying. A named example is the SAMSEF Regional Scholarship, which opens on 1/1/2026 and closes on 6/30/2026 and offers awards of up to $3,000.

The organization’s support is directed to Georgia residents who are graduating high school seniors or undergraduate students. It serves students seeking a professional certification, associate degree, or bachelor’s degree in land surveying, surveying engineering, or a related field, and it focuses on applicants attending or planning to attend a college in Georgia. Its eligibility framework ties educational support directly to professional preparation: applicants must be planning a profession in land surveying and must be eligible for the Surveyor intern (SI) exam upon graduating.
