Dear all,

We are excited to announce that student applications for the 2024 BEACoN Research Scholars are now live! The student deadline is Sunday, November 19th at 9 pm PT.

 

The BEACoN Research Mentoring Program, run by the Office of University Diversity & Inclusion, exists to educate, empower, and advocate for underrepresented students and provide them with funded undergraduate research opportunities working one-on-one with faculty. 

Selected students will engage with faculty during Winter and Spring quarters and receive a $2,000 quarterly stipend ($4,000 total) distributed via financial aid while gaining research experience and participating in professional development events within the BEACoN Program.

 

Please view all available research projects at https://diversity.calpoly.edu/2023-2024-beacon-research-projects and apply at tinyurl.com/BEACoNScholar2024. Students may apply for up to three projects.
