GET-UPP Program Eligibility

 

The GET-UPP Program serves up to 50 pre-medical students a year. The program aims to support groups in medicine, first-generation college students, those from socioeconomically diverse communities, and students with a demonstrated commitment to community service. We encourage all students to apply.

  • Identify as a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident, or an individual granted deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) status by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services;
