Battelle Science InternshipsFaculty Member in the DepartmentDescription: Support students to participate in research projects throughout the world. Some awards for entire summer support may be given, whereas other awards may be for a short stay at a remote location where a student needs to carry out data collection. Often these awards will be given to supplement work partially funded in some other way. Preference will be given to students with GPA of 3.5 and above and to projects that are directed or co-directed by Denison faculty, but that cannot be completed on campus.
Applications: Proposals may be submitted at any time, with notification following the request in a timely manner.
