The LRI Summer Scholars Program (formerly the SENS Research Foundation Summer Scholars Program, following SENS Research Foundation's 2024 merger with Lifespan.io into the Lifespan Research Institute) is designed to provide undergraduate students with a comprehensive research experience in the fields of aging and regenerative medicine. Participants are placed at leading universities, research institutions, and laboratories across the U.S., including Harvard University, where they work on research projects aimed at understanding the biology of aging and developing therapies to address age-related diseases.
Eligibility Requirements
- This program is designed for undergraduate students. Only students currently pursuing an undergraduate degree or receiving their undergraduate degree during the 2026-2027 academic year are eligible for the Summer Scholars Program.
- Students currently enrolled in a master's, doctoral, medical, or similar postgraduate degree-granting program are ineligible to apply. Similarly, applicants who have already earned a postgraduate degree are ineligible to apply.
- Students enrolled in a dual undergrad/grad program are eligible provided no degree has been earned by the start of the internship.
- The applicant must be enrolled at a university in the United States. Special circumstances, such as established exchange programs, will be considered on a case-by-case basis. U.S. citizens studying abroad are also eligible to apply.
- Applicants must be eligible to receive a stipend. Students who are studying abroad in the U.S. will need to participate in the Summer Scholars Program through a Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for off-campus employment.
