The program flyer in PDF version is attached. Students don’t need to be a geography major or have remote sensing background to be qualified. A successful candidate should have <b>U.S.-citizen</b> or <b>permanent-resident</b> status and have at least one semester
of undergraduate studies remaining after the initial summer program (graduating seniors in May 2019 and graduate students are not eligible to apply). The application deadline is <b>March 22, 2019</b>.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
