“Because we are committed to the future of our students and to
environmental stewardship, SML will work to make its programs
affordable to each and every qualified and motivated student.”
Willy Bemis, Kingsbury Director of the Shoals Marine Laboratory
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
The date to be considered for Financial Aid has passed, however it's not too late to apply to an SML program. Get your application in to us no later than May 30, 2008.

Students who completed their applications by 3/07/08 will still be second in line for aid.
March 28, 2008: Date for accepted students to submit their financial aid materials (see: Forms and Instructions).
The field, adventure and personal growth experiences SML offers will prepare you for the competitive world of advanced study and professional careers. Our unique island community on Appledore will show you new ways of thinking about environmental stewardship and treading more lightly on the planet. SML courses can be a very cost-effective way to accelerate your undergraduate degree program, in some cases at a cost far less than attending courses on a mainland campus. Our admissions staff will work with you, your family and your home institution to make an SML experience affordable.
Contact our Admissions Team at shoals-lab@cornell.edu if you have any questions.
SML has dedicated financial aid resources funded by foundations, friends and alumni to help defray the cost of our summer credit course program. We also offer the opportunity to work on Appledore Island either before or after your course (see: Working Internships).
