Slide 21
We expect the most from our research scholars.

They often work two years on a project and complete a senior thesis.  They present their research at professional meetings; many publish.  Most attend graduate school after receiving their bachelor’s degree.

Each year, UCLA provides nearly two million dollars to support research scholars.  Some funding comes from foundations, such as Beckman and Howard Hughes; other funds come from federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation, but most of the funding comes from donors who want to support UCLA’s undergraduate research scholars.
