The Summer Enrichment Program (SEP), founded in 1986 in the Department of Health Management and Policy at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health, is designed to familiarize undergraduate students with inequalities in health and health care that confront low-income communities across the United States. Many hospitals, health centers, and other health and health care organizations in the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint area have agreed to provide paid ($3,000 for the summer) eight-week summer internships to qualified undergraduate students from across the country who demonstrate an interest in the elimination of racial/ethnic health disparities.

Other Benefits to accepted students:

• Receive free on-campus housing
• Get food allowance
  
• Receive travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor and transportation to and from the internship sites.
  

The application is available on the SEP website.
Application deadline is February 4, 2011.
