Foreign Applicants
In keeping with Bascom Palmer Eye Institute’s commitment to global exchange, the McKnight Vision Research Center welcomes trainees from around the world. It should be understood that foreign trainees are typically expected to bring funding from the home country. We will provide as much assistance as possible with fellowship applications.
UM Exchange Visitors Program
International research scholars must allow at least 3 months for the processing of J1 visas. J1 visas are sponsored by the Department of Ophthalmology for research scholars (one-year program) and for short-term scholars (four-to-six months).

Training Stipends
Training stipends for graduate students are funded through the graduate programs. It is usually a requirement that medical students, undergraduate and high school trainees agree to serve as a volunteer although some fellowships are available.
