Each year, 30 top-scoring students from across the nation are invited to participate in the USESO summer program at the University of Vermont. These students are chosen from hundreds of applicants based on performance on the USESO National Open Exam administered every year. After several rounds of advanced theoretical and practical examinations, 8 students are selected from the summer program to represent the U.S. at the International Earth Science Olympiad. The next IESO will take place in Russia in 2020.
