Scholarship

Advancing Research Together

For several years, the Pediatric Research Network has been awarding scholarships to exceptionally talented young scientists for their research projects in pediatric oncology and hematology, provided that their research focuses on childhood leukemia. 

Scholarship recipients are selected for funding based on an evaluation committee consisting of representatives from our cooperation partners.

Applicants should demonstrate outstanding personal achievements and a high level of scientific quality in their project and laboratory work.
