FRANKLIN, Ind. – Franklin College and B2S Life Sciences recently announced the creation of the B2S Life Sciences Career Development Fellowship, a new initiative designed to enrich students’ academic experience with essential real-world exposure to life science research and high-tech industries.
The three-year scaffolded fellowship experience will bridge the gap between academic preparation and a successful career transition upon graduation.
The Franklin College student selected to pilot the fellowship is Alecia Perkins, a sophomore from Franklin. Perkins is a biology and biomedical science major.
The fellowship provides structured, long-term experience to ensure students acquire the practical skills needed for today’s competitive high-tech job market. The program provides a $5,000 scholarship annually per student for up to three years, totaling $15,000 per student. B2S Fellows may also earn internship credits toward graduation requirements.
Franklin College will nominate a pool of qualified candidates for consideration each year. B2S Life Sciences will conduct the selection of fellows through a competitive application and interview process.
