Building Belonging

Your gift funds scholarships for underrepresented student researchers collaborating with faculty in campus labs and community-based projects. Donations to this program helps build belonging for students within the university by providing hands-on research and mentorship. 

By providing each student in the program with a $1,500 quarterly stipend for their work, you can promote equitable access to research opportunities for students who are low-income, first-generation, BIPOC, undocumented, or former foster youth. 

This program is housed within the Institute for Social Transformation, which supports innovative research in the Social Sciences. To learn more about Building Belonging’s impact on students’ careers and campus experience, read their testimonials >>
