The Foundation’s College Summer Internship program attracted more than 70 applications from top-notch universities this year, demonstrating its great success. To date, the Internship Program has established an excellent record of accomplishment for the past six years: Of the 37 alumni, most have either enrolled in medical school or graduate school, and others have found employment in the biomedical field in either biopharma or academia.

The program is supported in part by a generous grant from the Merck and Co. Inc.’s West Point Charitable Contributions Committee and the Charles Sigety Family Foundation.
