The Hollings Scholarship Program
provides successful undergraduate
applicants with awards that include
academic assistance (up to a maximum
of $8000 per year) for full time study
during the 9-momth academic year; a 10week, full-time internship position
($650/week) during the summer at a
NOAA facility, and if reappointed,
academic assistance for a second 9month academic year.
The purpose of these fellowships is to
provide opportunities for continuing
generations of able and accomplished
New Americans to achieve leadership in
their chosen fields. The program is
established in recognition fo the
contributions New Americans have made
to American and in gratitude for the
opportunities the US has afforded the
donors and their families.
These awards were established to help
African American undergraduate students
who are interested in science to further
their science education and potentially
pursue science careers.
Applicants need not be Wellesley
graduates and should be interested in
studying medicine with a view towards
general practice (excluding psychiatry).
Fellowships should have a BS or MS in
biomedical engineering (BME). Because
some institutions do not offer biomedical
engineering or its equivalent as a degree
program, exceptions may be made based
on a demonstrated commitment to the
field of BME through significant
coursework, research, laboratory or work
experience.
Wendy Loughlin (University of Maryland) and Emil Chuck (George Mason University) are to be
acknowledged for the entries on this list. One should consult financial aid officers at health
professional schools for more options.
