Working in biomedicine is rewarding, but many promising students aren’t able to afford the college education it requires.
The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) wants to help more underserved students enter the field by awarding $10,000 scholarships to three students pursuing a career in research or medicine.
Eligible applicants must:
be nominated by a teacher, administrator, or guidance counselor;
demonstrate either significant financial need or status as a first-generation college student, including individuals whose parents have not completed a Bachelor’s degree;
be on track to complete their high school diploma with a cumulative GPA greater or equivalent to 3.5 on a standard 4.0 scale.
Nominations must be submitted before February 15, 2022. Visit JAX’s Scholarship FAQ page for more information and the JAX College Scholarship Program page for instructions on how to nominate a student.
