Every summer, the Salk Institute accepts a group of high school students to work in a lab side-by-side with Salk scientists on cutting-edge research. During the 8-week paid internship students will work in the lab with their mentor while also being expected to participate in seminars, workshops, biotech site visits, and other enrichment activities. At the end of the program, students present their research projects to their mentors, lab peers and families.

The 2025 Heithoff-Brody Scholars Program will run from June 16 to August 8, 2025. This program is open to students 16 years and older who reside and attend school in San Diego County.
