2018 Siemens Foundation-PATH Fellowship

Siemens Foundation–PATH Fellowships

A global health opportunity for science, technology, engineering, and math students.

PATH, a leading global health organization, in partnership with the Siemens Foundation, is launching the third year of the Siemens Foundation–PATH Fellowship. The program engages science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students in innovative, hands-on assignments that serve society by accelerating high-impact, low-cost solutions to some of the world’s most pressing health needs. Based in PATH’s Seattle, Washington, office, fellows are provided a meaningful research and laboratory experience and exposed to career opportunities in global health.
