Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program UROP


Undergraduate research equips students with tools that give them an advantage in their career readiness. UROP supports students in their research journey as they learn to navigate project management, teamwork and communication/presentation skills.  

Today we have a special opportunity to support the over 1,400 undergraduate students conducting research from all majors and schools on campus. 

Your gift today will directly support student scholarship awards

$100 = student supplies for research

$250 = a student partakes in Research Discovery Program for early research

$500 = two new student led full research projects

$1000 = a student research award 

If you are unable to support financially, we welcome you to engage in other ways such as: 

  • Spread the word about UCI Giving Day to your friends and your community
  • Mentor current students through our professional development program
  • Submit updated information or tell us your UROP story here
  • Engage with our social media content by following our accounts, joining our groups, and commenting on/liking/sharing posts that resonate with you


We hope that you and your loved ones are happy, healthy and safe. Thank you.

Show your Anteater pride today and add a badge to your social handles.
