Program and Funding to Collaborate with Science Researchers
The Emperor Science Award program is committed to helping students in grades 10 and 11 who have a passion for science to join the next generation of cancer researchers. To be considered for the program, students should submit an application and a 750-word essay answering the questions, “Why is scientific research so important in helping to find a cure for cancer, and if you could be a scientific researcher, what would you study and why?” Through this award program, 100 winning students from across the country will be paired with a university-level mentoring scientist to collaborate on an important cancer research project. Whether virtually or in a lab, students will be able to connect with their mentors to develop valuable research, organizational, and communication skills. Participating students will receive a free Google Chromebook to help facilitate communication and $1,500 for project expenses. The award is sponsored by PBS LearningMedia, Stand Up to Cancer, and Entertainment Industry Foundation.
Deadline: March 17, 2017, for entries; research projects to be conducted from June to August 2017
