A college scholarship program for undergraduate students committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral, and social science research.

Eligibility

To apply for UGSP, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. In addition, you must:

  *   Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a full-time undergraduate student at an accredited four-year college or university.
  *   Have a grade point average of 3.3 or greater on a 4.0-point scale, or rank within the top five percent of your class.
  *   Demonstrate exceptional financial need certified by your undergraduate institution’s financial aid office.

The NIH UGSP is a financial needs-based scholarship award for students who are committed to biomedical, behavioral and social science research. The program provides scholarship recipients up to $20,000 per academic year for tuition, educational, and reasonable living expenses. Scholarships are awarded for one year and can be renewed for up to four years.

For every year of scholarship support, scholars commit to two paid service obligations in the NIH Intramural Research Program. These are:

  *   A ten-week full-time summer internship at the NIH immediately following the year of scholarship support.
  *   One year of full-time work at the NIH post-graduation; this service obligation may be deferred until completion of an advanced degree program.
