- Interested graduate students must first submit an application to the University of Washington for admission into the Department of Chemistry graduate program.
- Interested undergraduate students should fill out the following Google form to be considered. If you do not receive a response within 2 weeks, please feel free to email Dianne. Please note that we are only able to consider UW students; non-UW students should apply through established REU programs. Finally, due to safety reasons, we are unfortunately not able to host high school students.
