\n\t\t\t\tAbout the UCI Beckman Scholars Program\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation is an independent, non-profit Foundation established in 1977 for the purpose of supporting leading edge research in the fields of chemistry and life sciences, broadly interpreted. UCI has been selected as one of the hosts for the prestigious Beckman Scholars Program, a 15-month mentored research experience for exceptional UCI undergraduate students who are doing research in chemistry and life sciences. This Beckman Scholars Program provides an inspiring, multi-disciplinary research environment, individualized mentoring, ample communication and leadership experiences, and time management\/life skills coaching for the Beckman Scholars.<\/p>\n\t

Each year, 1-3 outstanding students will be selected as the Beckman Scholars based on their academic record, quality of previous research experience, and potential to become prominent research leaders in the chemical and life sciences. Each research term consists of 15 contiguous months starting at the beginning of summer, continuing during the following academic year, and continuing further for the next summer:<\/p>\n
