Young Science Scholar Summer Award Program

Each year the National Kidney Foundation of Upstate New York provides two science scholarships to local high school students. This competitive scholarship will provide students with the opportunity to work alongside experienced researchers at a major medical center during the summer months. The scholarship, which carries with it a $1,000 stipend, holds the promise of stimulating early interest in science while encouraging the best of high school juniors and seniors to pursue careers in scientific research.
