Support research and get a T-shirt!

This summer, grab a t-shirt to celebrate your undergraduate research and support research opportunities for more students! 

In addition to laying the foundation for future advancements, research is a crucial opportunity for students to build skills, gain experience and find their future career. Your gift, no matter the size, will ensure more students can participate in research without financial burden. Our mission is to ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate in research at the #1 public university in the United States.

Why Funding Undergraduate Research Matters

Careful research takes time and effort. It requires a level of commitment beyond regular class requirements, which unfortunately precludes many students who instead have to work to support themselves and their families. Many students want to participate in research, but cannot afford to take an unpaid position. This is why funding matters. Your support will help create paid research opportunities, ensuring students don't have to choose between work and research. 

Participating in research provides essential skills and experience, enhances career trajectories, lays the groundwork for future scientific advancements, and creates a more thoughtful, engaged, and curious student body. Keep these opportunities accessible to all UCLA students, regardless of their background or financial circumstances by donating today.  

Research in Style
