Under JPLGF, initiative may be taken at any time of the year to bring on a student, so there is no pre-determined schedule and there will be no annual "call." The periods during which the student is at JPL may, however, be constrained by the requirements and characteristics of the academic schedule.
Note that the length of the students' first stay at JPL must be ten weeks or more. JPLGF is open to foreign nationals as well as to U. S. citizens and legal permanent residents. We require that the foreign national or LPR be attending a U. S. university. Each student in the program must be registered with his or her local space-grant consortium
