Applications now open for 2024 summer programs at KBS

Calling all undergraduate students looking for an unforgettable summer experience—applications are now open for W.K. Kellogg Biological Station’s 2024 summer programs.

A KBS summer

KBS hosts students each summer for a pair of research experience programs: Research Experiences for Undergraduates, or REU; and Undergraduate Research Apprenticeships, or URA. There also are several internship opportunities.

KBS summer students have the opportunity to gain a wide variety of internship or field and lab research experiences, new friendships, and professional references in a residential setting at a world-renowned biological station on the shores of beautiful Gull Lake. All undergraduate researchers and interns also take 1-2 summer courses, which are offered on-site at KBS.

The summer 2024 program will run from May 12 through July 27 for URA students and interns, and from May 19 through July 27 for REU students. Applications close Thursday, Feb. 1, and all applications will be notified of final decisions by Friday, March 1.
