Students from the U.S.

The U.S. JSEP team is excited to share that we will continue our long-standing field-based Arctic science program in Greenland in the summer of 2026. This immersive, hands-on experience remains at the heart of JSEP, bringing together students, graduate mentors, and scientists for collaborative research and cultural exchange in the Arctic. More program information will be provided in the coming months.

Eligibility and Application Timeline for field-based Program

• • Eligibility:

    1.  Must have previously completed a remote JSEP program, and,

    2.  Must be 18 years old (and not older than 18) as of June 1, 2026

  • Application Timeline: Applications will be available December 1, 2025 and will remain open through January 31, 2026. We expect to make decisions by mid-March 2026.

As part of this continued focus on field-based learning, we will not be offering a remote JSEP program in 2026. The remote programs of recent years have provided valuable opportunities for students around the world to engage with Arctic science, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who participated and helped make them a success.

Please note, the JSEP leadership will determine 2027 programming and eligibility based on several factors related to funding, logistics, and institutional policies. All updates will be posted on this website in fall 2026 or as soon as possible.
