The Ellison Institute is passionate about education. From empowering patients with the knowledge and resources that help extend their healthy years, to inspiring the next generation of scientists and clinicians to enter their health and science fields, education is central to our vision.
Education
JR. FELLOWS
The Ellison Institute has developed a unique program to foster scientific achievement for rising high school seniors interested in clinical or research oncology.
We believe that passion, coupled to outstanding aptitude, are the hallmarks for success. This program fosters scientific education by incorporating hands-on experimentation in a collaborative environment. We welcome applications from all high schools for this free course. The application consists of an essay and a copy of the student’s transcript. The essay should be used as a forum to convey the student’s passion for science/medicine.
