GEN-PINC Scholarship
What is the GEN-PINC Scholarship?
The Gen-PINC Scholarship program was established in Fall of 2020 to support students pursuing the PINC Minor (formally, Computing Applications Minor) and PINC Certificate (formally, Data Science and Machine Learning for Biotechnology) programs.
This scholarship program is funded through grants awards from Genentech Foundation.
In August of 2020, the Genentech Foundation has graciously awarded the PINC program a $580,750 grant that provides scholarship opportunities for students.
This GEN-PINC grant will provide scholarships and mentor support to 10 PINC students starting the Fall of 2020. Selected students in the program will receive monetary and academic support as well as professional development instruction. 1st year GEN-PINC scholars receive $300/month and 2nd year scholars receive $700/month.
Through the GEN-PINC program, scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to collaborate on projects with researchers from industries and other academic institutions such as Genentech, IBM, and Stanford. Through these projects, students will be able to strengthen their computational training, receive mentorships, and establish professional relationships in preparation for careers post-graduation.
Thank you to the PIs who submitted this grant (Anagha Kulkarni, Ilmi Yoon, and Pleuni Pennings) and Genentech for the generous award!
