UC LEADS program was started in 2000. It is funded by the Office of the
President and the California State Legislature. Each UC campus has a UC
LEADS program. The UC LEADS program provides students with educational experiences that
prepare them to assume positions of leadership in industry, government, public
service, and academia. Additional benefits include: research experience,
research stipends, GRE preparation, seminars/workshops, advising, networking,
and travel to professional meetings.
