Please Note: Applications will be reviewed and considered on a rolling basis. Early submissions are encouraged!

Application Requirements

A complete application must include the following parts:

• Completed 2025 SCRC Summer Training Program student application
• Resume (2-page limit) or curriculum vitae
• Official transcript(s) or Letter(s) of Good Standing from all colleges, universities, and medical schools attended
• Two (2) Faculty Recommendations

After submitting the Application Cover form, applicants will be sent an email with login information and a unique link to return to their application. Passwords are automatically established using the [Last Name] and [Email Address] fields as entered in the Application Cover. Passwords are case-sensitive and include any spaces and special characters entered.

Then, applicants will complete the remaining sections of the application:

• Education History—In this section, applicants will be asked to provide information regarding their Undergraduate and Medical School (if applicable) history with transcripts through the Fall 2024 Semester. Applicants can now upload official transcripts/ letter(s) of good standing directly into the application. We only accept digitally certified official transcripts that are uploaded. If your institution does not provide you with digitally certified official transcripts, please have these transcripts sent to us via email or physical mail using the contact information on this page.
• Recommendations—In this section, applicants will be asked to provide names for two recommenders. When the Recommendations section is submitted, each recommender will receive an email requesting them to submit their recommendation. We encourage applicants to complete this section early to allow time for their recommenders to complete and submit their recommendation. Additionally, we will always accept letters of recommendation that are submitted directly via email.
• Short Answer Questions

Each applicant must submit all elements of the application by the deadline. The entire application must be received by 5:00 p.m. (EST) on Friday, February 7, 2025.

Student Selection

For the 2025 Summer Program, every effort will be made to place students with a faculty member in the pediatric program/specialty of their choice. (If you wish, applicants can also review the online Directory of Investigators on our website for a list of some of the past mentors in the Program.)

Each completed application is reviewed by the SCRC Directors and staff. The actual selection is made based on an assessment of the student's completed application, transcript(s), resume/CV, and both faculty recommendations.
