Scholarship Opportunities:

In an effort to encourage students from the Greater Kansas City area to enter the fields of science and Alzheimer’s research, the Shultz-Christopher Memorial Scholarship was created to benefit students from the Greater Kansas City area to participate in the eight-week program in one of the Banner Research program tracks.  The scholarship provides the financial resources needed to support student(s) who might not otherwise be able to participate in the program.  Financial needs–based candidates may also have the opportunity to use funds for travel and living expenses during the internships.

The Banner Research Women Inspiring Scientific Progress (WISP) program is sponsoring scholarships for female scholars that participate in one of the Banner Research program tracks.
