In celebration of International GIS Day, help me sponsor three (3) GIS students pay for school fees as well as fund a seminar event November 18th, 2015 at the University of Calabar, Nigeria.

The schlorships will be awarded to 3 students who submit the most compelling GIS map project at the GIS event hosted in part by me, Kimberly Mensah!
First Prize: $1000
Second Prize: $500
Third Prize: $300
The rest of the funds will go to purchasing a new computer and ESRI software for the GIS lab as well as costs of hosting the event!
This event is in its second year. The 2014 event was a success.
