**The camp is aimed towards fostering the local community and its underprivileged students, though everyone is welcome! As this is a camp that aims towards the edification of local students, and prioritizes local, disenfranchised students, any students applying from outside a 50- mile radius of campus will be put on a waitlist. After May 8th, if there are spots left in the camp, students from outside a 50-mile radius of the campus will be notifies and moved to the official camp roster.
Financial aid available!
We strive to make entomology accessible to as many students as possible and don't want the cost of tuition to be a barrier to attending this educational opportunity. The Entomology Graduate Student Association is offering a limited number of need-based scholarships. Eligible participants can find application information here.
