Penn Undergraduate Environmental Health Scholars Program
The Penn Undergraduate Environmental Health Scholars Program is a collaboration between CEET, the Center for Public Health Initiatives, and multiple schools and faculty at Penn. Ten weeks of summer activities will expose students to the field of environmental health science through mentorship, coursework, and field experience. Each summer, six internships will be awarded to Penn undergraduate students who will work one-on-one with mentors on projects that they choose and design. Each intern will receive $3,500 for the 10 week internship. Highlights of the program are cutting-edge research seminars on environmental health topics, laboratory or field projects mentored by Penn faculty, and weekly field trips to environmental sites or government agencies.
The deadline for applications is March 2, 2009 (for early decision), and the final deadline is April 1, 2009.
