The Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health has paired with Brooklyn's SUNY Downstate to offer a three-year afterschool enrichment program in the health and laboratory science area called the Health Science Academy!
Current high school freshmen who come from groups that have been historically under-served and under-represented in the health sciences and higher education must apply by Friday, April 20.
Apply by April 20 to be considered for enrollment as a sophomore. You will continue in the program through your senior year. This is a rare chance to be exposed to the medical science professions so close-up!
By the way, as background for those too young: Arthur Ashe was a great Grand Slam tennis player and the only African-American male to ever win Wimbledon. He passed away in 1993 after contracting AIDS from heart surgery, but not before he established his foundation, which helps people to this day.
A GREAT thing!
