Advancing Student Success Through PROPS
For over three decades, the UCLA Psychology Research Opportunities Program (PROPS) has provided invaluable resources to undergraduate students. Through PROPS, students receive mentorship and guidance from graduate mentors and gain the opportunity to conduct groundbreaking research under the direction of our world-class faculty. Students also receive a stipend during the two-quarter program, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent them from engaging in hands-on lab research and mentorship opportunities.
Since its inception in 1990, PROPS has served over 650 students, and our goal is to grow the program to provide these invaluable resources to more undergraduates. With your support, we can continue to provide transformative opportunities for rising psychology students. Thank you for joining us during this year’s Blue & Gold Challenge. Below you can learn more about our impact from PROPS alumni.
PROPS Alumni
"PROPS has provided me with essential tools and experiences to thrive as a researcher and scholar. I learned how to write research papers effectively, participated in professional development workshops, and developed strategies to manage stress through mental health sessions and team collaboration with my classmates. The mentorship I received was essential, guiding me through the complexities of my research and career planning."
- Sullivan S., Class of 2024
“The mentorship and knowledge I received from PROPS helped me immensely in getting my research job post-graduation, and it will continue to be a huge help when I apply to Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology. The generosity of donors allows ambitious students to receive the knowledge and support needed to accomplish their academic and professional dreams of becoming leaders who give back to their community.”
- Angel M., Class of 2024
