2016 Amgen Scholars Program Washington University in St. Louis is recognized as a preeminent research and educational institution. The University provides education, leadership and an environment that future scientists need as they prepare to solve emerging biological problems. We will select scholars based on their academic record, ability, potential to understand scientific principles and intellectual curiosity that will likely make them successful in a research career. We will assess these qualities by carefully reviewing a personal statement and letters from two faculty in the sciences who can address the student’s interest in, and potential for, a career in research. Come and discover the tradition of academic and scientific excellence in a supportive environment as an Amgen scholar at Washington University.
Eligibility: U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents Undergraduates enrolled in a four-year college or university in the U.S., Puerto Rico or other U.S. Territory at time of application and participation in the program.

Yale University Each summer the Yale SURF Program brings a group of qualified undergraduates to Yale for eight weeks. The experience is meant to familiarize students with the kind of work they can expect to do in graduate school, provide them with insight into the many steps involved in building a career based on Ph.D. level training, as well as foster a sense of confidence regarding their own abilities and potential. Students are immersed in an academic, professional setting involving a working relationship with a faculty mentor, a postdoctoral associate, and/or an advanced graduate student, a program of individual research, and participation in a series of program workshops and panel discussions. The focus of the program is primarily on research and on the methods of professional research. Students in the natural sciences learn advanced laboratory methods and conduct Ph.D. level research in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Students in the humanities and social sciences work closely with mentors and have at their disposal the considerable archival resources found in the Yale University libraries. Emphasis is also placed on the presentation of research findings to colleagues. All students develop a proposal, give a final presentation to their peers, submit a written final paper, and attend the Leadership Alliance National Symposium to present their research at the meeting.
Eligibility: The SURF Program is intended for students with a strong desire to pursue research careers at the Ph.D. level. The program is particularly interested in identifying and providing research experience to talented underrepresented minority students. Preference is given to students completing their sophomore or junior years. However, other students who express persuasive plans for research may be considered. Participation in the summer program is restricted to US
