Between September 2017 and its conclusion in June 2024, The UCI S-STEM Physics Scholars program was sponsored by the National Science Foundation to increase retention and graduation rates of physics and applied physics majors at the University of California, Irvine (UCI).
The program supported activities to:
- strengthen the departmental student community through peer mentoring,
- increase academic support through faculty advising and access to tutoring in gateway courses,
- encourage research and industry opportunities
The program also provided over 60 scholarships to financially-eligible and academically meritorious students at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) who are majoring in physics or applied physics. For more information about the program, contact Professor Tucker (tucker@uci.edu).
