Guggenheim Family Neurosurgery Scholarship

The Guggenheims established the Guggenheim Family Neurosurgery Scholarship with the residual estate of their late son, Jean-Pierre, to provide funding for medical students who are interested in pursuing Neurosurgery training through an annual summer research program. The Guggenheim Research Fellowship will be able to support a total of four Penn 1st or 2nd year medical students annually during Summer Session. Students interested in applying should send their resume, brief research proposal description and letter of support from their Neurosurgery faculty research mentor to Susan Small, Residency Program Coordinator. Each selected candidate will have a $2,500 award for 8 weeks of summer research. For more information and how to apply, please see the scholarship announcement.
