Highlight: Are you a high school student with a burning passion for biomedical science? Then it looks like the Summer Fellows Program by the Lundquist Institute, which is academically affiliated with UCLA, was made just for you.

You must demonstrate outstanding general academic achievement with particular focus on science coursework. You must also be available to participate full-time in all summer science program activities during mid-June to early-August. This summer science program gives you eight weeks to take part in study groups in a mentored research project on one of 15 different diverse areas including neuroscience, stem cells, cancer, genetics, nephrology and infectious diseases. It culminates in a presentation to peers, family, and the research community during the last week of the program, for which participants are awarded Certificates of Achievement. Apply now to the summer science program and fill in the ‘Summer Fellowship Program Student Online Application Form’ before early April. You will also need to submit your official high school transcript and two to three letters of recommendation from high school teachers, preferably science teachers, online or to education@lundquist.org or Torrance, CA 90502-2064.
