Sea Mar Scholarships

 Sea Mar Farmworker High School & College Scholarships

Sea Mar recognizes and acknowledges the barriers children of farm working families face in their pursuit of a college degree. Economic strains, as well as the language and cultural barriers can often affect these students.

Sometimes students need to work after-school and all summer to assist their family. Sea Mar is proud to provide annual scholarships to help make college a reality.

Award amount: $1,000.

Simons Foundation Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN)

The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) and Neuroscience Collaborations have launched the Simons Foundation Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) for the 2023-2024 academic year. This opportunity is designed to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience research among undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in the field. 

SURFiN provides undergraduate research assistants with a $7,500 salary support (at a rate equivalent to $25/hour for 10 hours a week over 30 weeks) to work in-person in Simons Foundation-supported neuroscience laboratories under the guidance of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Additionally, fellows and mentors will participate in virtual and in-person professional development and community-building activities, including a computational science bootcamp and an annual visit to the Simons Foundation for fellows to present their undergraduate research. 

The Murray Lab, part of the Vision and Cognition Group at the University of Washington, will be participating. If you are interested in applying, please visit the website for detailed information, eligibility criteria, and application instructions.
