Helios Summer Program Opportunity! Deadline 2/9/2018

Helios Accepting Applications for High School and College/Graduate Biotech Summer Programs

Deadline: February 9, 2018
Established in 2004, the Helios Education Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for individuals in Arizona and Florida to succeed in postsecondary education. The foundation's community investments are made across three impact areas: Early Childhood Education, the Transition Years, and Postsecondary Education Success. Since inception in 2004, the foundation has invested millions of dollars in education-related programs and initiatives across both states.

To advance this mission, the foundation has issued a Call for Applications from Arizona high school, undergraduate, and graduate students for two summer educational programs at the Translational Genomics Research Institute: the TGen Bioscience Leadership Academy and the Helios Scholars at TGen program. Both programs are designed to increase access to academic experiences for underrepresented populations and enable graduates to become peer models who can inspire other students to achieve.

1) TGen Bioscience Leadership Academy: Summer 2018 will mark the first class of the TGen Bioscience Leadership Academy, which is designed exclusively for high school students who are looking to elevate their understanding of bioscience and precision medicine. Up to twenty high school students from across Arizona will spend two weeks with TGen's world-class scientists, learning advanced scientific and professional skills.

The inaugural class runs from June 18 to 29, 2018. Applicants must be sixteen by the time the program starts, and in the fall entering their junior or senior year of high school. Only one student will be selected from any one Arizona high school each year, ensuring participation from as many as twenty schools. Each student receives a $1,000 scholarship.

2) Helios Scholars at TGen: The ongoing Helios Scholars program at TGen has provided up to forty-five students each summer with an eight-week paid internship to help prepare the next generation of Arizona bioscience researchers and physicians. The program is designed exclusively for undergraduate and graduate students, including those in medical school. Through the program, TGen scientists will share research expertise and technical skills, lab shadowing, bioethics, experimental design, and the translational process of quickly moving laboratory discoveries into new therapeutics to benefit patients with neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and many types of cancer.

Helios Scholars at TGen will commence June 4 and end July 27, 2018 with a daylong scientific symposium, showcasing the students' accomplishments. Helios Scholars earn an hourly wage that varies with experience.

Students selected for both TGen Bioscience Leadership Academy and Helios Scholars at TGen also will receive guidance in science communication skills, public speaking, interdisciplinary and collaborative workplace skills, and networking.

For complete guidelines and application instructions, see the Helios website.
