Trimble established a First-Generation Scholarship in honor of Dr. Gladys West, a pioneer in mathematics, minority advancements and the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS) – one of our most widely used innovations throughout the world. Known today as the hidden figure who helped invent GPS, Dr. West is one of the reasons why consumers can receive driving directions from a phone or tag a photo location on social media. And why professionals in industrial markets such as construction, transportation and agriculture can leverage geospatial technology to realize significant improvements in productivity, quality, safety, transparency, and sustainability to transform the way they work with precision.

That tenacity, talent and enterprising fortitude encapsulates the spirit of Trimble’s scholarship program designed to honor Dr. West’s contributions to science and the geospatial industry.

Supported by the Trimble Foundation, a donor-advised fund, the Dr. West scholarship program will enable Florida International University to award a 4-year scholarship to one student each year.
