Welcome!

The Biology Scholars Program (BSP) is an undergraduate program based out of the Office of Undergraduate Biology in collaboration with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University. The program is designed to support academic excellence for underrepresented students majoring in Biological Sciences.

Our Biology Scholars are students from economic, gender, ethnic, or cultural groups historically underrepresented in the various fields of biology, primarily interested in pursuing advanced degrees in science and / or medicine.
