On behalf of Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science’s Office for Education Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we are excited to announce that applications are open for the 2024 Mayo Clinic CARES Program for Arizona high school students! Mayo Clinic CARES is a pathway program serving Arizona students in grades 9-11 with a strong interest in exploring health care careers, offering both a summer component and an academic year coaching and mentorship experience. This program is free-of-charge, requires no prior experience, and especially encourages students from the following groups to apply: diverse, first-generation college, Upward Bound or STEAM pipelines, under served, students receiving free or reduced school lunches, and special populations.
When applying, students can choose from either the 4-week, in-person experience at Mayo Clinic-Phoenix and Scottsdale in June 2024, or the 1-week, virtual program in July 2024. We are seeking applicants from all Arizona counties and ask that you kindly share this information with your networks. *For the Mayo Clinic CARES virtual program in July, we especially encourage and will provide preference to applications from Arizona high school students outside of Maricopa County.
For more information or questions, you may reach us at officeforeducationdiversity@mayo.edu
