The Illinois preselection period is now open for Mayo Clinic’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), a 10-week program that invites students to work alongside Mayo Clinic researchers on cutting-edge biomedical research.
This special preselection process allows University of Illinois students to submit their SURF application to a selection committee of Illinois faculty and staff. Up to seven of Mayo Clinic’s prestigious fellowships are reserved for Illinois sophomores and juniors who are seriously considering a biomedical research career as a PhD or MD-PhD. Eligibility and program details can be found on the Mayo Clinic & Illinois Alliance website. The deadline to apply is Monday, Nov. 6.
Join us Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. via Zoom for a Preselection Informational Session to learn more about this special preselection process, to hear more about the SURF experience, and to ask questions. Register for the info session.
If you have questions about the info session or application, please contact LeaAnn Carson.
