The Amgen Foundation works to broaden access to engaging and inspiring science education programs, providing future generations with essential skills to thrive in an increasingly complex world. Together with dedicated nonprofits and universities, we offer hands-on and virtual learning opportunities to ensure that everyone, everywhere can participate in science.

Do you see those eyes? The focus they bear? The curiosity they hold? They’re the scientists of tomorrow.

These students are learning hands on, in-person, and online through the AMGEN foundation and the programs it supports.

It's an ambitious and thriving endeavour that has brought science education to tens of millions of students around the world.

We provide a borderless global science education infrastructure to foster the next generation of scientists and problem solvers, who can change the world for the better, wherever they live.

Our programs provide students from a diversity of environments, cultures, disciplines, and perspectives with unmatched access to transformational science education. It's an increasingly complex world, and what they learn today, they'll take with them to countries all over the globe tomorrow. From remote villages to thriving cities, these future problem-solvers and change-makers will bring solutions to some of humanity's greatest challenges: deadly diseases, food scarcity, climate change, health inequities.

We know, and you know, everyone needs science, and science needs everyone.

  • AMGEN BIOTECH EXPERIENCE

    Established in 1990, the Amgen Biotech Experience (ABE), is an innovative science education program that introduces students to the excitement of scientific discovery and builds bridges between school and real-life biosciences. The program provides teachers with professional development and education materials and loans research-grade equipment to high schools all at no cost. Worldwide, the program has reached 1.2 million students to date. Learn more about the Amgen Biotech Experience and its presence in Canada.

  • AMGEN SCHOLARS

    Established in 2006, the Amgen Scholars Program is an undergraduate summer research experience hosted at 26 premier educational and research institutions across the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia and Canada. Participants benefit by conducting a research project under top faculty, participating in seminars and networking events and taking part in a symposium in their respective region. Throughout the program, participants meet peers, present their research findings, learn about biotechnology and hear from leading scientists. Financial support for students is a critical component of the program, which helps ensure that eligible students, regardless of income, can participate.
