Do You Love Science?

The Emperor Science Award program is committed to helping all students that have a passion for science join the next generation of cancer researchers. Through this award program, 100 winning students from across the country will be paired with a university-level mentoring scientist to collaborate on an important cancer research project. Whether virtually, or in a lab, students will be able to connect with their mentors to develop valuable research, organization and communication skills! Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Please check back this fall for information on the 2018 Emperor Science Award program and deadline.

Hear from the 2016 Emperor Science Awards Winners!

“My mentor experience was one of the best, most educational opportunities I have ever had.” - Natalie S.

“I hope to have a lifelong professional relationship with my mentor. Dr. Luberto is not only my mentor but also my role model… This experience has confirmed my plans to be a scientist. Not only has this experience helped me decide what career I want to pursue, it has also prepared me for my senior year of classes.” - Lauren B.

“My relationship with my mentor had several positive outcomes. I developed communications skills with my mentor through conversations and emails. In addition, I learned a lot about melanoma from the research I conducted, which my mentor helped guide. Moreover, I had the opportunity to ask my mentor questions about melanoma, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and his job that I otherwise would not have had the opportunity to do.” - Yichuan M.
