We seek your help in identifying and encouraging current UCLA undergraduate students to apply for participation in UC LEADS (Leadership Excellence through Advanced Degrees), a prestigious two-year, UC systemwide program for promising sophomores and transfer students (planning to graduate in 2010) interested in pursuing graduate degrees and research careers in the science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) fields.

UC LEADS Scholars receive substantial financial support and engage in research under the supervision of a faculty mentor during the academic years and summers. They also participate in seminars to assist them in identifying and applying to graduate programs, financing their graduate education, seeking extramural fellowships, preparing and presenting poster sessions, etc. The scholars also attend and present their work at national professional society meetings. UC LEADS alums have begun graduate studies at UCLA, UCB, UCD, UCSD, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Cal Tech, etc.

Eligible students are those in an undergraduate degree program in the physical, life, or computer sciences; engineering; mathematics; physical and biological anthropology, archaeology, geography, linguistics, or experimental psychology.

Please let your students know about this exciting program. The online application is available at www.gdnet.ucla.edu/asis/ucleads/uclintro.htm. The deadline is March 24, 2008.
