Scholarships and Pathways in Neuroscience

Cedars-Sinai’s Scholarships and Pathways in Neuroscience Program aims to advance the education and careers of postsecondary students from a range of underrepresented communities. The program provides funds, mentoring and hands-on learning in a world-class medical center.

Scholarship and Research Opportunities



Scholarships and Pathways in Neuroscience was created to enhance diversity in the neurosciences. Awardees work with leading scientists in state-of-the-art facilities under the mentorship of renowned neurosurgeon Keith Black, MD, and can explore a wide range of interests while networking with clinicians, scientists and peers and conducting their own research in a Cedars-Sinai lab.
