California Louis Stoke Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) program provides support for ethnically underrepresented students majoring in the sciences, mathematics, engineering, and technology. The objective of the program is to provide students with the skills to pursue research careers and to stimulate serious consideration of graduate study. Please visit URH’s CAMP webpage with additional information on the CAMP Fall program before beginning your application.

You are eligible to apply if you meet the following criteria:

Graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, research scientists, and/or visiting lecturers are not eligible to serve as formal CAMP mentors, although we do encourage students to develop additional mentoring relationships beyond their primary faculty mentor. Once this information is entered and saved, our office will send an auto-email to your professor requesting their support. Please speak to your supporting professor for authorization before you begin your application.
