The BUMMP Research Apprenticeship Program (BRAP) will be awarded to students pursuing research during the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters of the academic year, with a preference to support students with financial need and/or students who are first generation in their family to attend college.
This scholarship is intended to expose BUMMP mentees to cutting-edge research in labs at UC San Diego under the guidance of a principal investigator. Applicants can be of any class standing and of any citizenship status. Students who receive a BUMMP scholarship will receive a scholarship of $1,500 per quarter, up to $4,500 per academic year, disbursed through the financial aid office.
Through BRAP, students will gain tangible skills that will set them up for success in a research career. A few of the UCSD competencies (determined by UCSD Engaged Learning Tools) that the student will work on as an apprentice are:
Through BRAP students will gain a holistic research experience: students will lead their own research project and communicate their findings through a deliverable due at the end of the year.
By leading an independent project, students will learn to identify open questions to pursue and develop experiments that will address those questions.
By participating in research, students will gain hands-on experience in the lab and learn transferable skills and techniques. BUMMP events will also prepare students for their transition from their undergraduate or master's degree.
