The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP) offers competitive scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral, and social science health-related research. The program offers:
-
Scholarship support
- Paid research training at the NIH during the summer
- Paid employment and training at the NIH after graduation
For each full or partial scholarship year, there are two NIH service obligations: a 10-week summer laboratory experience in an NIH research laboratory, and employment at the NIH after graduation. You must serve 1 year of full-time employment for each year of scholarship.
