It is committed to increasing the number of talented students who choose a career in the biological and chemical sciences, particularly first-generation college-bound students and students from groups that are underrepresented in science.

Only students from the five REACH partner schools below are eligible to apply for the 2024 Summer Internship Program. These schools include: Barrio Logan College Institute, San Diego; Hilltop High School, Chula Vista; Hoover High School, San Diego; Lincoln High School, San Diego; and Morse High School, San Diego.

The 2024 Program will run from June 24 - August 9, 2024. The application deadline for this summer's program is April 19, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. https://education.scripps.edu/k-12-outreach/ca-outreach/hs-internships/

During the seven-week laboratory internship, each high school student will meet with a graduate student mentor who will help guide the student through their experience in the lab, the college application/selection process, the application essay, etc.

If you have questions regarding the types of research selected summer interns experience at Scripps Research, contact our Office of Educational Outreach by email at eduprgm@scripps.edu.
