Scholarships,
Fellowships, and Awards Available!
To offset some of the
expenses associated with coming to a field station, we offer a variety of scholarships, fellowships, and awards
for undergraduate and graduate students interested in taking courses or conducting research at KBS.
Preference will be given to MSU students and those who plan to live in residence at KBS, but students from any
institution may apply. In addition to these funds, there are jobs and internships available.
Tuition at KBS is the same as on MSU's main campus.
