The David Lantis Student Scholarship
The CGS annually awards scholarships to college and university geography students to further their education. The primary award is the David Lantis scholarship, given each year to one graduate and one undergraduate student.
The David Lantis Student Scholarship is named after the
organization’s seventh president, from CSU Chico. David Lantis received
the Distinguished Service Award in 1976 and was named
Outstanding Educator in 1991. Now deceased, Lantis authored numerous
articles and textbooks including a California geography textbook
used by educators throughout the state. He was a strong supporter
of the California Geographical Society.
