The priority deadline is February 15th, but applications will be accepted until the program is full.
Students will travel to Butte, MT for this 10 week program that runs May 29th to August 4th. Each student who enrolls in the program will receive:
- A stipend of $600 / week ($6000 total)
- Summer housing on the Montana Tech campus
- Travel reimbursement to and from Butte (up to $1000)
- Meals provided by campus dining services and others on weekdays
The weeks will largely consist of faculty led laboratory based research, but numerous group activities are planned. These include field trips that explore environmental concepts around Montana, including an alpine meadow impaced by climate change, locations with engineered solutions to environmental problems, the world infamous Berkeley Pit, and Yellowstone National Park. It is expected that many students will not have substantial prior research experience. Students will participate in trainings and workshops that cover laboratory safety, research ethics, and numerous professional development opportunities. When combined with the individual research project, students completing this program will be well positioned for a career in an environmentally focused field.
