The program includes a $7500 stipend, covers housing and travel expenses, and runs from May 27 to August 1, 2025. The program uses trees as model systems to investigate questions related to evolution, ecology, conservation, and management in natural and built environments.

WHO SHOULD APPLY: We invite undergraduate students with a strong interest in environmental research to apply for the Center for Tree Science REU program. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a passion for the natural world and a willingness to engage in research across diverse environments. A commitment to collaboration, attention to detail, and scientific inquiry is essential. We encourage applicants from colleges and universities where research opportunities are limited, groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM programs, first- and second-year undergraduates, first-generation college students, and US military veterans currently enrolled in an undergraduate program.
