Paying for Stone Lab
Scholarships
- Each year, Stone Lab and the Ohio Sea Grant award nearly 40 scholarships to students and educators with financial need and superior academic records. Anyone taking a for-credit class (and some workshops) is eligible to apply. Last year, undergraduate students were awarded more than $800 on average. Scholarships range from $200-2,500.
- The School of Environment and Natural Resources will be offering food and housing scholarships for ENR students attending one-week, four-week, or eight-week sessions. Full food and housing scholarships will be awarded. Priority will be given to students with demonstrated financial need.
- Semester at Stone Lab - A fully immersive academic experience for students wishing to pursue studies related to Lake Erie ecosystems and water science. This competitive scholarship program includes in-state tuition and fees, room and board, and transportation to the island. We will work with students to make sure they are fully outfitted with gear and any equipment as necessary. Selected students will be mentored through the process of registering for summer courses at Stone Lab and preparing for a summer on the island, so prior experience is not expected. Each student will work with an academic advisor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources to select courses that will help fulfill degree requirements (8-10 credit hours expected). The Semester at Stone Lab program runs from May 29 - August 5, 2023.
