Subject: Scholars Program at NIH

One more summer opportunity.


The application deadline for this program is February 2nd, 2015 at 11:59 pm EST. The full application package, including reference letters, must be completed at this time for applicants to be considered for the program.
Eligibility
The Amgen Scholars Program at NIH is a summer internship for undergraduate students interested in PhD and combined degree programs in the sciences. Students interested in attending medical or other professional school programs should apply to the broader NIH Summer Internship Program.  Students with experience in health disparities and a keen interest in learning more about the biological, environmental, social, and genetic causes of health disparities are especially encouraged to apply. The admission committee will give preference to students who lack opportunities to perform independent research during the school year. NIH welcomes applications from students in all science disciplines and encourages students from diverse backgrounds to apply.
In addition, applicants must:
·         Be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
·         Be enrolled for Fall 2015 in a four-year college or university in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or other US territory.
·         Be a rising junior or senior (including fifth-year seniors). Transfer students from community colleges should contact us for advice on applying to the Community College Summer Enrichment Program (CCSEP).
·         Have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher (4.0 scale).
Individuals who have earned a baccalaureate degree, students who are not currently enrolled at a U.S. institution and previous Amgen Scholars are not eligible to apply.
