UMBS Graduate Student Research Support
Application for Funding

Alumni gifts and University sources have provided limited funding to assist graduate students who are working toward a degree while in residence at the University of Michigan Biological Station.

To be eligible, applicants should be enrolled in a graduate program and the research should be part of their thesis research, a pilot study preliminary to thesis research, or a required part of the graduate program. Funding is partial and considered only for applicants who plan to be in residence at the Bio Station and/or base their research there.

Priority will be given to those applicants who: 1) plan to be in residence for at least a half term (4 of 8 weeks); 2) demonstrate financial support for their research from other sources such as their department, advisor, graduate school, fellowships, etc.
