Wistar Institute High School Program in Biomedical Research – Apply by Mar 20

Posted by The Wistar Institute on March 10, 2026

This summer – July 6 through July 30 – program is a four-week, in-person summer research internship for high school students ages 16 and older who are currently enrolled in a science course and interested in biomedical research and related careers. It offers students hands-on laboratory experience, exposure to professional research environments, and mentorship from Wistar scientists and staff. The program is offered at no cost to participants and includes a stipend upon completion, as well as SEPTA passes to support transportation.

We are especially eager to reach students with little or no prior research experience, as well as students from schools where access to advanced science resources may be limited. This opportunity is well suited for students who are curious, motivated, and interested in exploring biomedical research as a potential academic or career pathway.

Application deadline is March 20, 2026.
