Scholarship Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP) offers competitive scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds that are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral, and social science health-related research. The program offers scholarship support, paid research training during the summer, and paid employment and training at NIH after graduation. Currently, the UGSP provides up to $20,000 per academic year in tuition, educational expenses, and reasonable living expenses to scholarship recipients. Scholarships are awarded for one year and can be renewed up to a maximum of four years. For each full or partial scholarship year, UGSP participants are committed to two service obligations: a ten-week summer laboratory experience under the mentorship of an National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) investigator, as well as one full year of research in an NHGRI laboratory. To be eligible for the UGSP, students must: * Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a full-time student at an accredited, four-year undergraduate institution. * Be a United States citizen, national, or qualified non-citizen. * Be from a “disadvantaged background” with demonstrable financial need. * Have a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale), or be within the top five percent of their class.
