The Summer Scholars program is a rigorous and rewarding internship designed to expose undergraduates to graduate level research. Each scholar is paired with a Stowers researcher who will serve as their mentor, guiding them through an independent research project while learning state-of-the-art techniques and technologies. Weekly seminars provide access to and engagement with the variety of scientific fields and topics studied at the Institute. Culminating the eight-week program, each scholar will communicate their research at an all-Institute poster session.

The program, considered a springboard for talented early-career scientists, is administered through the Graduate School of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, and funded by the Stowers Foundation.
