NIH Undergraduate
Scholarship: Applicable to tuition
and other expenses for up to four years for students
committed to careers in biomedical research and who meet the
following criteria:. 1) U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or
national of the U.S;. 2) full-time student at an accredited
institution; 3) GPA of at least 3.5 on 4 point scale or
ranked within the top 5% of the class; 4) from a
disadvantaged background. ‘Disadvantaged background’
means either your undergraduate institution classifies you
as having exceptional financial need using the Federal
Government's standards, or you come from an environment that
inhibited (but did not prevent) your obtaining the
knowledge, skills, and ability required to enroll in
college. If you do not qualify on the basis of exceptional
financial need, you may still qualify as being from a
disadvantaged background by providing a personal statement
explaining your situation. In return for the scholarship,
recipients commit to two types of service obligation for
each year of scholarship: 10-week summer service as a paid
employee in an NIH research laboratory, and after
graduation, one year of full-time paid employment in an NIH
research laboratory.
