UCEAP is accepting applications for the Undergraduate Research Awards! The University of California Education Abroad Program offers undergraduate research awards annually in three disciplinary areas: the arts and humanities, social sciences, and sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Each award consists of a $1,000 stipend.
The purpose of these awards is to recognize undergraduate students who have distinguished themselves through their excellence in research conducted while abroad on UCEAP and to encourage other students to become involved in research efforts abroad. These awards also recognize UC’s initiatives to internationalize the undergraduate educational experience and promote undergraduate research activities.
