The Pelotonia Scholars Program offers one-year research awards to The Ohio State University College of Medicine students who are committed to cancer research. While many medical students have part-time research experience, the Pelotonia Scholars program allows them to take a year off to focus fully on independent cancer research projects.
The program aims to provide a concentrated, full-time research experience, encouraging students to immerse themselves in the field. Past recipients have made significant contributions, presenting at national conferences and publishing in high-impact journals.
The program is highly competitive, and applications are rigorously reviewed by the Pelotonia Scholars Program Committee. Receiving this scholarship is a significant distinction, enhancing students' career prospects.
Awardees are paid a one-year stipend of $34,000, enabling students to focus fully on advancing cancer research without financial burdens.
