Why Your Support Matters
UCLA is one of the leading research universities in the world, and that starts with undergraduate students. As we celebrate the accomplishments of our student researchers, it's also important to recognize the uncertain state of research funding in the United States. Now more than ever, it is crucial to support research and creative inquiry at this early stage so that the next generation of future scientists, innovators and leaders can flourish.
Your support will help to ensure that research opportunities remain accessible to all UCLA students, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Your donation will fund research projects, provide resources for students to travel to conferences and present their work, and fund scholarships for our researchers. You can also get a Undergraduate Research Week T-shirt for any gift of $15 or more.
