Foothill-Stanford Bioresearch Internship

SLI has partnered with biology labs at Stanford University to launch this pilot internship program in winter 2021.

Students are partnered with a graduate or post-doctoral mentor and commit five hours a week in a virtual internship, working on independent projects under the guidance of the mentor.

Students receive a $500 stipend and also attend biweekly cohort seminars to learn about topics such as applying to graduate school and careers in biology/ science.

How to Apply

  •  Applications for winter 2021 have closed.
  • Come back to see if this program will be continued in the future after this pilot.
