Anyone ever head of/participated in one of the 10 Amgen scholars programs?

Hi,

I participated in the Amgen Scholars program at UCSD this past summer. It was a very fun experience--possibly one of my best summers, but not necessarily because of the Amgen program--and I would highly suggest it for anyone who's interested. Plus, the pay is great too. We got $3.5k at UCSD plus a board stipend of $700, including free living on campus (own room), 4 units of school credit, and an awesome trip to Lake Tahoe over the summer.

I also got to know a wonderful PI who I still talk to regularly and will be presenting my summer research project at a National Conference in TX next week (all expense paid trip, to boot--not sponsored/paid for by Amgen).

Results will vary. But I think you'll enjoy it greatly =)

Hope this helps. Good luck.
