Allegheny College-Funded Global Health Research
The Allegheny College Global Health Studies program is able to provide funding for student research internships, both on- and off-campus, during the summer of 2016. Summer research internships are funded by a grant to Allegheny College from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Current Allegheny students chosen to receive this funding will be selected based on their qualifications, letters of support, potential for personal and professional development, and the significance of the proposed project to global health. Applications are due Tuesday, March 28th, 2017.
