Campus Academic Enrichment Opportunities Scholars have the opportunity to participate in academic enrichment programs to provide them with special training in areas critical to academic success. These programs include preparation for the GRE, scientific writing and making academic presentations, academic career planning, and development of specific research or research-related skills. The initial experience takes place on the student's home campus. The second summer research experience occurs at another UC campus. The Scholars' stipend increases for the second summer in keeping with the scholars' experience level.
