Subject: Amgen Scholars U.S. and Japan Programs: Applications Now Online



Description:



Every year, the Amgen Scholars U.S. Program provides hundreds of selected

undergraduate

students with the opportunity to engage in a hands-on research experience at

many of the nation’s

premier educational institutions. Currently, 10 institutions in the U.S. host

the summer research

program. The Amgen Foundation has committed more than $50 million over twelve

years to the

global Amgen Scholars Program to make this opportunity possible for thousands

of students.



Inspiring the Scientists of Tomorrow

As Amgen Scholars, students will have the opportunity to:

•

Take part in important institution research projects, gain hands-on lab

experience

and contribute to the advancement of science;

•

Interact with and receive guidance from faculty mentors, including some

of the nation’s top academic scientists; and

•

Participate in engaging scientific seminars, workshops and other networking

events.



The Amgen Scholars U.S. Symposium

A signature component of the summer program is a mid-summer

symposium where students hear firsthand from leading scientists working in

industry

and academia. The U.S. symposium is held in California, and provides students

with a valuable opportunity to

discuss their research and network with other Amgen Scholars from across the

nation.
