The primary goal of our Summer Scholars Program is to provide research and professional development opportunities to students from groups historically underrepresented in biomedical fields.

Program Details

• Scholars will engage in research activities for 10 weeks.
• Scholars will work under the direct supervision of a participating faculty mentor.
• Scholars will design and present a scientific poster outlining their research at the conclusion of the program.
• Scholars will participate in research/educational seminars and presentations on graduate school and careers.
• Social activities and networking events will be offered to scholars to encourage interaction with University of Rochester graduate students.

What our scholars say...

"Being part of the University of Rochester's Summer Scholars Program was such a rewarding and eye-opening experience that helped me confirm my path toward graduate school and my passion for dentistry. The opportunity to work on innovative research projects not only strengthened my technical skills but also challenged me to think critically, approach problems creatively, and grow as a researcher. Beyond the lab environment, the mentorship I received, along with the connections I built with peers and faculty, were truly inspiring and left a lasting impact on my academic journey."
