FOR PARENTS


The KEYS Research Internship offers a broad range of research opportunities to talented high school students. We are always looking for interested individuals who are considering higher education in the areas of bioscience or biomedical science. If you feel that your child could benefit from the KEYS Research Internship program, please encourage them to apply.

The internship is primarily geared towards incoming juniors or seniors who possess an academically sound background in biology and chemistry. Students are selected based one their current academic performance, personal statement, and teacher recommendations.

We consider everyone who fills out the internship application completely.

Each year we host a parent meeting and include partnes in email, on twitter, with photos, and at the poster session.
