Eureka! Scholarship Program

Eureka! Scholars is a highly competitive summer research training program for some of our most promising undergraduates. Each year, we select up to 10 outstanding, upper-level students to participate as Eureka! Scholars during the summer months in leading life sciences labs. Under the guidance of a mentor, Eureka! Scholars conduct leading-edge research which greatly expands and integrates their academic learning and jumpstarts their role as young scientists in the discovery of new knowledge.

Benefits to Students

By participating in intensive research training our students will:

• Heighten their awareness of how knowledge gained from biological research is being translated into applications for the treatment of disease (therapeutics), for securing world food supply (agriculture) or for creating a sustainable environment (green technology)
• Hone and develop the research skills necessary for achieving their educational goals and professional ambitions
• Enrich their college education experience in preparation for postgraduate and professional research opportunities
• Find opportunities to gain applied skills in research, project management, publishing and more
