Program description

"Each UCLA student accepted into the COMPASS program will be matched with a faculty mentor from the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center and will engage in at least six quarters of laboratory research, gaining valuable hands-on experience and earning credit towards their degree. COMPASS scholars will also complete courses designed to equip them with the skills they need to build careers in the stem cell field, present their research at conferences and receive training in science communications and community outreach. Applicants will initially be recruited from two UCLA programs: The Academic Advancement Program’s Transfer Summer Program and Pathways to Success. The Transfer Summer Program assists transfer students from historically underrepresented backgrounds with acclimating to the UCLA campus as well as its academic rigor and standards. Pathways to Success, which was developed by Dr. Tracy Johnson, is a four-year, honors-level program designed to support undergraduate students’ efforts in STEM majors, academic achievement, sense of belonging in science and career goals. Both the Transfer Summer Program and Pathways to Success offer authentic research experiences, rigorous coursework, quality peer relationships and distinctive opportunities for undergraduate students and their mentors."

Where this information comes from

This page is published from University of California, Los Angeles's own public scholarship portal (ucla.academicworks.com), read and verified 2026-09-03. This is a different source from most of this site's listings, which come from IRS Form 990-PF filings — see how we source scholarships. Portals change between cycles, so always confirm current details on the source listing before applying.

Most listings on this site are compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Listings under /award/ are a second, separate source: read directly from the foundation’s own public scholarship portal, with a link to that source on every page. Filings are annual and portals change between cycles, so details can change: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
