The Molecular and Cell Biology Undergraduate Student Association (mcbUSA) is now accepting applications for research opportunities through our Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)! mcbUSA started SURP in 2003. Since then the program has been very successful with over 100 student applicants annually and the participation of over 30 faculty researchers from research institutions throughout the Bay Area. Our objective, through SURP, is to provide undergraduates with the opportunity to begin work in research laboratories in the summer with the possibility of continuing through the following academic year. To achieve this, we have once again solicited the participation of the following faculty and other life science researchers in the Bay Area: *Dr. Manfred Auer, Dr. Katja Brückner, Dr. Silvia Crivelli, Dr. Karen Davies, Dr. Deborah Dean, Dr. Igor Grigoriev, Dr. Li-Wei Hung, Dr. Claire Kremen, Dr. Cynthia McMurray, Dr. Eva Nogales, Dr. Melvin Scheinman, Dr. Aparna Sundaram, andDr. Ronald Zuckermann.* If you are interested and want to know more information, please visit: http://mcbusa.berkeley.edu/surp/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XzEkaJDbFtDU977-axTjOKdIDYOD-H6QpjfZ3rmGiWEnAwTQDBF_bQwR7oKYoqC4M-jRx2ZkR7zLsadViW5eOOUF2j-cu-8uIMLkg3agweZPzOX4RB8OBzaAtV8d52GavrRIWo39trjLNLKVjkhggIbjMg6S495rvIZPnGn7UxvK4AxjQDPmSq2PNfI75Pym&c=hbG0NaXpEsAcSEx22ecG0pS6rTW-vEBt_k-iDeS8E3HcnQQ-KE947w==&ch=l4ylehxTCSs_S2qum-VVgpIDAmUU8b11k6T2bOQBOfRWleUKRw5w-g==>.

Latinos in Technology Scholarship The Latinos in Technology Scholarship was established by the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley, a public foundation dedicated to inspiring community philanthropy and engaging people to invest in the educational achievement and leadership development of a thriving Hispanic community in Silicon Valley. This program will give 100 Latino students the support they need to graduate from college; an educational opportunity they would not have access to otherwise. By implementing this program in Silicon Valley, HFSV will be able to directly address the local education gap among Latinos as well as begin to close the high tech employment diversity gap. The Latinos in Technology Scholarship will support up to 100 Latino students annually for five years with the following scholarship: - 2-3 Year Scholarship: - The 2-3 year scholarship will be awarded to 100 rising college juniors who have declared their major in a STEM-related field. - Each scholar will be awarded up to $10,000/year (depending on need) - The total amount awarded will be approximately $15 million.
