Amgen Scholars Program


Amgen Scholars Program


About – Amgen Scholars Program

Amgen Scholars is an international program funded by the Amgen Foundation with direction and technical assistance provided by Harvard University.

Every year, the Amgen Scholars Asia Program provides sixty selected undergraduate students throughout the world with the opportunity to engage in a hands-on research experience at many of Asia’s premier educational institutions. Currently, four institutions in Asia host the summer research program. The Amgen Foundation has committed $74 million over sixteen years to this global initiative to make the opportunity possible for thousands of students.

Inspiring the Scientists of Tomorrow


As Amgen Scholars, students will have the opportunity to:

• Take part in important institution research projects, gain hands-on lab experience and contribute to the advancement of science;

• Interact with and receive guidance from faculty mentors, including some of Asia’s top academic scientists; and

• Participate in engaging scientific seminars, workshops, and other networking events.

The Amgen Scholars Asia Symposium


A signature component of the summer program is a symposium hosted at the National University of Singapore where students hear firsthand from leading scientists working in industry and academia. The Asia symposium provides students with a valuable opportunity to discuss their research, learn about drug discovery and development, and network with other Amgen Scholars from all over Asia and the world.

Academic Research Areas


Any disciplines related to the discovery, development, manufacture, and delivery of human therapeutics, as well as the overall biomedical and biotechnology enterprise.

Financial Support
