California Louis Stoke Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) program provides support for ethnically underrepresented students majoring in the sciences, mathematics, engineering, and technology.
CAMP - Quarterly
The UC San Diego CAMP program will fund research during the Spring Quarter of 2022. Students participating in the program will do 10-12 hours of mentored research and will be paid a $1,000 scholarship during the quarter they will be working on their project. This scholarship will be disbursed by Financial Aid and will be incorporated into your overall financial aid package. If you have questions about how this may affect your financial aid award, please contact scholarships@ucsd.edu or visit the FAS website.
Students interested in applying for a CAMP quarterly award should submit an application through the Undergraduate Research Hub opportunities portal during the quarter prior to that for which they are seeking an award.
