Many promising students are unable to pursue higher education due to the financial burden a college education presents. The Jackson Laboratory, through the JAX College Scholarship Program, will award a scholarship to students who will pursue a college degree and aspire to a career in biomedicine. This program is open to graduating high school seniors who reside in Connecticut, Maine, or in Sacramento County, California. The mission of The Jackson Laboratory is to discover precise genomic solutions for disease, and the scholarships will be awarded to students who share this goal by pursuing a career in research or medicine. Applicants must be nominated by a teacher, administrator, or guidance counselor. Online teacher nominations will open January 13 and must be submitted by February 14. Nominated student applications must be submitted by March 3. To request a link to a Nomination Form, please send an email to the Jackson Laboratory with the subject line, 'Scholarship Nomination Form Request' and include the following information: Nominator: your name, title, school affiliation, and email address.
