UA MARC Program application deadline Wednesday, February 1st



It's time again to consider applying to the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, have a 3.0 GPA, will have at least 4 semesters left at University of Arizona after the current spring semester, are interested in pursuing research and aspire a graduate degree in a biomedical field, then you certainly should apply. The benefits and opportunities are MANY and there is NO prior research experience required.

The simple application and more information can be found at 2017 MARC Program Application. Please note that the application is now combined with UROC so you will have an opportunity to apply to several programs in one process. Be sure to select “Maximizing Access to Research Careers” (MARC) to ensure that your application is automatically forwarded to our office.

The financial benefits are:

  • paid partial or full tuition
  • paid health insurance (if needed)
  • $1500 per year to travel to science meetings
  • approximately $1,000 per month in stipend

The application deadline is Wednesday, February 1st.

If you'd like to discuss the possibilities or have ANY questions, PLEASE feel free to contact me via email (cjneal@email.arizona.edu) or by phone at 621-4667. I'd be very happy to talk with you.
