<span style="font-family: Calibri; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">The Amgen-UROP Scholars Program invitesundergraduates to participate in faculty-mentored summer research at MIT in the science and biotechnology areas. Students admitted to this program
(known as “Amgen Scholars”) will have opportunities to conduct research, analyze data, present research results, network with other undergraduates with similar research interests, and develop working relationships with MIT faculty mentors and other research
staff.<o:p></o:p></font></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">Amgen Scholars learn how to collaborate effectively in research settings, investigate areas of research interest, and gain practical skills and knowledge for both graduate study and
post-graduation careers. Participants become fully integrated in MIT’s summer research community, interact with faculty mentors and fellow undergraduates, and participate inresearch seminars and other networking events. Most importantly, Amgen Scholars become
involved in exciting research and contribute to the advancement of science in an area of interest.<o:p></o:p></font></span></div>

in a designated MIT residence hall and an $800 food allowance will also be provided.<o:p></o:p></font></span></div>
