Students who are curious about science, interested in learning and are motivated by project-based experiences. We do not review grades in the application process, rather we look for students who convey their interest and enthusiasm in the internships. Each teacher may nominate up to 3 students. SEP takes care of all the paperwork involved in hiring, insuring, and paying the interns. Students are drawn from many San Francisco Unified High Schools, and many are interested in exploring careers in the biomedical sciences.
Selected students are energetic, curious, and hard working.
Spending the summer in a UCSF research lab is a wonderful experience for these students, and sponsoring one of them can be educational and fun for the mentor as well. I gained the confidence I needed because I found out that I can do anything if I was curious and passionate enough. Copyright 1998-2000 University of California Regents.
