-From 2015 we aim to put in structures and procedures in OSGeo so that we are in a position to fund student awards for at least 10 Conferences/Competitions  each year (including at all FOSS4G conferences) world-wide.  Hence the request for initial seed fund of 10k USD to start this.
+From 2015 we aim to put in structures and procedures in OSGeo so that we are in a position to fund student awards for  initiating OSGeo Student Awards for FOSS4G conferences (FOSS4G Global, FOSS4G-NA, FOSS4G-Europe and FOSS4G-Asia ). Total cost requested is 4K USD (1K USD for each event - to be directly send by the OSGeo Treasurer to the Chair of the LOC).

−	Hence we request OSGeo Board to allocate ~~10k~~ USD from the OSGeo budget for initiating the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Student Awards scheme. This a seed amount to start the initiative. This will be administered by the OSGeo Treasurer and this Award Committee with Charlie Schweik as chair will be responsible for approving which conference/events/competitions to fund the awards. Also we will invite other interested organisations who wish to support this Award initiative to directly send their funding to OSGeo and the OSGeo treasurer will administer this for us.

-The "Geo for All" Awards for Open Geospatial Science is awarded to students who have demonstrated contributions to  FOSS4G . The aim of the awards is to recognise the excellent contributions from students worldwide not only to  FOSS4G but also  acknowledge their contributions to open knowledge and being good global citizens by helping spread the benefits of education to all. Also by giving  certificates with the backing of three great geo organisations (ICA, OSGeo and ISPRS) will be a great moral boost for the students. This recognition is much much bigger than the monetary award .The awards will be given at selected conferences/ events worldwide to ensure geographic distribution and participation.
