WUMI Summer Programs
In February of 2016, the CNMI Scholarship Office (CSO) and the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine (WUSTL) began collaboration on a partnership for eligible CNMI Residents. The Washington University and Mariana Islands (WUMI) Summer Program is now possible through this partnership. We recognize the importance and need to increase the representation of Pacific Islander professionals and leaders in the sciences, medical sciences, and allied healthcare sciences. This representation will help improve healthcare, reduce health disparities and solve many environmental challenges.
CSO will begin vetting for candidates to apply for these programs beginning September 1st thru November 30th every year. During this process, CSO will work with interested applicants and our point of contact with WUSTL to prepare the students with application requirements for both institutions. To participate, you must register with CSO first and complete our WUMI Summer Program application. Please communicate with our program coordinator, Ms. Monica V. Manibusan, by e-mailing her or calling her at (670) 665-4752.
"WUMI allows you to train at one of the top leading medical schools in the Nation!"
WUSTL is looking for bright, innovative, and talented undergraduates from the Pacific Islands, particularly eligible students from the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI), to participate in the following 2020 summer programs:
