We're excited to share that U of M Medical Center has partnered with Belleville High School in order for three of our students to spend the summer researching at U of M Medical Center on a project of their choice alongside a graduate student and/or professor. BHS students will earn a $4000 stipend for the summer. There is no GPA requirement, official application, or research experience required, although students do need their own transportation to Ann Arbor each weekday from June 16-Aug 18th. There will be an information meeting with the U of M program coordinators Thursday, March 2nd during Tiger Time in the mini auditorium for any current sophomore or junior interested. Students will need to sign up ahead of time using the QR code on the attached flyer. Please encourage your students to learn more. We have attached the site for more information. U of M does not want students to fill out the interest survey until after they have been to the presentation tinyurl.com/UMBioMedFocus
