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.
