About the Program
The MUSC High School Teen Science Ambassador Program aims to engage high school juniors and seniors in research in an academic medical university setting.
Teen Science Ambassador Program
The Teen Science Ambassador program is an internship offered by the Youth Collaborative for individuals from groups that are underrepresented in STEM and have a passion for science. Ambassadors will join our team for weekly meetings at the Medical University of South Carolina, located downtown Charleston.
We will cover topics such as clinical research, developmental neuroscience, addiction science, résumé building, and professional development during our meetings. Each ambassador will also prepare and present a research exploration project.
We will provide our Ambassadors with dinner, travel assistance, and compensation.
Apply before March 31, 2024 by 11:59 p.m. to be considered for our Fall 2024 cohort.
The Teen Science Ambassador Program is possible through the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
