Biodiversity Scholars Program ‑ 373540

At the University of Michigan, students don't just study biodiversity - they help shape its future. With access to more than 17 million plant and animal specimens, the Biodiversity Scholars Program is a new initiative that empowers undergraduates to become the next generation of biodiversity leaders through immersive, collections-based research. Housed in two of North America’s largest natural history museums - the Museum of Zoology (UMMZ) and the Herbarium (MICH) - your gift to the Biodiversity Scholars Program enables undergraduate students to lead independent research, conduct expeditionary fieldwork, and build the expertise and vision to lead the future of biodiversity science
