## About this program

The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) founded the Fleming Scholar Program in 1956 to give Oklahoma high school and college students hands-on biomedical research experience.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents or have unrestricted work authorization, and must commit to the full eight weeks.
