Background:
The California Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) is part of a UC System-wide alliance and is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in the Sciences (LSAMP).
The CAMP Program at UC Riverside aims to recruit and retain students in STEM majors, facilitate their academic success, provide professional development, and encourage their transition to graduate study. CAMP-UCR is a program that works to encourage NSF-declared underrepresented students in the STEM fields to successfully complete undergraduate science degrees and further pursue their studies at the graduate and professional level. Priority consideration may be given to first-generation college students, students from low-income backgrounds, low performing high schools and/or have overcome significant obstacles.
CAMP Scholars Program Eligibility:
• Be currently accepted to do research under a UCR STEM faculty lab for 10-12 hours per week during the quarter.
• Be a UC Riverside undergraduate student in good academic standing
• Have a minimum 2.7 UC cumulative GPA
• Be a declared STEM major
• Be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident
• Cannot be enrolled in research/academic units while paid under the program
• Intend to pursue a Masters (M.S./M.A./MPH) or Ph.D. in a STEM field after graduation
