Start a BPS Student Chapter at Your Institution! Apply to form a Biophysical Society (BPS) Student Chapter! Participation in the Student Chapter Program allows students to sharpen their leadership skills and be part of a worldwide network that helps to promote the field of biophysics within local communities. BPS Student Chapters are led by students and provide members with opportunities for professional development to enhance their academic experience. Chapters may be formed within a single institution, or regional Chapters may be developed among multiple, neighboring institutions anywhere in the world. Approved Chapters can also receive up to $200 USD in reimbursable expenses to assist with getting started.
