BOOST Science Program at Duke University
Share
BOOST (Building Opportunities and Overtures in Science and Technology) is a multidimensional program Through BOOST, we can make this dream a reality!
BOOST (Building Opportunities and Overtures in Science and Technology) is a multidimensional program designed to excite young people – particularly underrepresented minorities, girls, and kids from economically challenged backgrounds – about science and inspire them to pursue careers in medicine and related fields. Imagine walking into an office of engineers, a hospital, or research laboratory and seeing faces that represent the wonderful diversity of our society. During this difficult time, BOOST has stepped up to support our community by referring families to needed services and offering guidance to new programs that also want to serve our young people. We need your support to keep doing this work. Visit www.sites.duke.edu/boost/donate to contribute.

BOOST Beyond is a student-driven mentorship program through the Duke University School of Medicine designed to help Durham high school juniors and seniors plan and accomplish their post-high school goals. Operating as an extension of BOOST Science Program at Duke University (Building Opportunities and Overtures in Science and Technology), it pairs eligible students with two graduate or medical student mentors for individual guidance throughout the year.
