Application Deadline
Mid-February
When should you engage with ONS?
If you are a student with significant research experience, see us around the last
week of October before the deadline. However, if you are a student who is planning
to apply for AMGEN Scholars Program, and would like to shape your journey for a competitive
application, one year prior to the application cycle is strongly recommended.
Students with undergraduate research experience will need at least four weeks to prepare an AMGEN application and solicit and guide recommenders. To give us more time, typically the latest we will meet with a student for the first time is first week of December.
