The Magellan Scholar program hits the $2 million milestone!

The Magellan Scholar program was created to enrich the academic experience of USC's undergraduates through research opportunities in all disciplines from science, technology, and medicine, to theatre, music, and art. By providing access to faculty mentoring relationships and a professional research experience, this program enables students to creatively explore their interests at a more in-depth level than can be attained in the classroom. The Magellan Scholar program provides opportunities for undergraduates to build a competitive edge in the job market.

Details:

Congratulations to our 2013 Spring Magellan Scholars! With this round of awardees, 841 Magellan Scholars have been mentored by 490 faculty since spring 2006. The newest round welcomes 84 new Magellan Scholars with ~20% from our system campuses.
