According to Bryan A. White, Director of the Mayo Clinic/University of Illinois Strategic Alliance for Technology-Based Healthcare, "This is a prestigious fellowship and a wonderful opportunity for these students to build their skills as young scientists. The SURF Program awards a $5,000 stipend to each student to cover living expenses while they carry out a research project at the Mayo Clinic."
