Fred Hutch Pathways Research Explorers Program

About

The Pathways Research Explorers Program, funded by the National Cancer Institute, introduces rising 10th and 11th graders who have completed a high school biology course to cancer research at Fred Hutch through a two-week, in-person introductory program in Seattle. Roughly 32 students across two August sessions receive a $500 award upon completion to offset lost work opportunities, along with a free transit card. Applicants must reside in the Seattle area and submit a teacher recommendation and unofficial transcript.
