Banner-ASU Neuroscience Scholars

The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University (ASU) in partnership with Banner Research are delighted to announce that the Banner-ASU Neuroscience Scholars program application is open. The Banner-ASU Neuroscience Scholars is a paid, eight-week summer training program open to top-achieving college undergraduate and graduate science students. Scholars work full-time on a research project under the mentorship of a Banner Research or ASU-Biodesign scientist to unlock medical and scientific mysteries in the areas of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, in a lab setting in the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area.

Applications and recommendation letters are due by March 2, 2020.  Please click here to learn more about the program.

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.
