FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Am I eligible to apply if I am a Michigan resident but attend a college/university outside of the state of Michigan?

No.  To be eligible, you must be currently enrolled in a college/university located inside the state of Michigan, regardless of your state of official residency.


Can I submit my application/transcript(s) after the February 10th deadline?

Unfortunately, we will not accept applications received after February 10th, 11:59PM EST.  Only applications that are entirely complete by the deadline will be reviewed.  We recommend students submit their applications at least 3 business days before the deadline in order to account for any computing issues that may arise.


Can my writers submit their letter of recommendation after the February 10th deadline?

Unfortunately, we will not accept materials received after February 10th, 11:59PM EST.  Only applications that are entirely complete by the deadline will be reviewed.


Am I eligible to apply if I graduate this spring but will continue taking classes in the Summer/Fall or as a non-degree seeking student?

If you graduate with an undergraduate degree any time before December 1, 2023, you would not be eligible to apply to the 2023 summer program.


When will I know if I've been accepted?

Applicants will be notified by email starting in February through early April. Due to the volume of applicants, we cannot give individual confirmation for application materials received.  We appreciate applicants' patience as we make our final decisions.  If you have not heard from us yet, no decision has been made on your application.


Can I select only one faculty member whose lab I'd like to work in over the summer?

No; every applicant must select at least 4 different faculty members they would be interested in working with over the summer.  We do not allow students to select their own lab, but during the matching process your preferences, interests, and research background will be taken into careful consideration.


I wasn't selected as a fellow this year.  Can I get feedback on why I wasn't selected?

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide individualized feedback due to the large number of applications we received.  Please know that we consider many factors when selecting Perrigo fellows.
