Biotechnology Education for Students and Teachers, the BEST program, was established in 2001 to raise the level of science education in Louisiana and prepare the state's youth to become the researchers our society needs for a prosperous and safe future.

The undergraduate program is designed to provide outstanding undergraduate students with a platform in which to form a research relationship with a faculty mentor. Each undergraduate will receive a $5,000 stipend and $2,000 for research supplies for their projects.

The Biotechnology Education for Students and Teachers program opened doors for Ashley Venters – although it might inadvertently close one as well.
