2008 Bioscience Internship Matching Funds
The Chesapeake Bioscience Education Foundation (C-BEF), an initiative of the Virginia Biotechnology Association (VaBIO), is offering matching funds of $1,500 each for up to ten summer internships. The criteria are as follows: The biotechnology or medical device company must be planning to match or exceed the $1,500 award for the intern and the intern must be enrolled in or a recent graduate of a Virginia institution of higher education or be a resident of the Commonwealth.
Selection will be based upon the quality of the proposed internship experience. Applicants should outline the job description, the proposed salary for the position, the name, university affiliation and contact information for the intern and the likely start and end dates. Grants will be paid to the companies at the end of the internship experience once final documentation has been submitted to VaBIO. Recipients will also be required to fill out a short questionnaire at the end of the program.
Applications can be obtained here or from VaBIO and must be completed and returned by May 1, 2008. For an application, please contact C-BEF at questions@vabio.org.
