Summer Internship Programs for Undergraduate and High School Students
ORWH provides summer internship support for students through its signature Wellesley-in-Washington summer program and also through the ORWH-FAES-NIH High School Summer Student program, cosponsored with the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES).
Wellesley-in-Washington
This program is available to Wellesley College students between their junior and senior years and provides the opportunity for them to spend the summer at the NIH and focus on health policy. Interns present posters explaining their summer accomplishments at the NIH summer student poster presentation day in August.
