Campaign: Amgen Scholars Program

At an Amgen Scholars alumni event held at MIT in spring 2015, we asked former Scholars how the Program has affected their career paths. Here’s what they told us.

MIT’s Megan Krench says the Amgen Scholars Program opened her eyes to possible science careers outside academia.
