2025-2026 Opportunities
Michigan Biological Station Opportunities - Two Options!
The Michigan Biological Station offers two ways for GRCC students to experience hands-on learning during the summer:
1). Earn U-M credit this summer through a fully-funded, four-week TB2H program (formerly GLACE) in July while living in Northern Michigan at the UMBS. Students will take a course in Humanities/English and one in Science, and receive a $500 stipend to cover expenses.
2). Take a more science-based approach for the summer at the BioStation during either the spring or summer semester. Funding is available based on need, and the applications are assessed on a rolling basis (so apply soon!)
Application Open Dec. 2026 - Due Feb. 6
