Join us as a MPS Scholar starting Fall 2022!
MPS Scholars supports undergraduate students' aspirations to become MPS majors, advance to degree completion, and go on to enjoy rewarding science careers. MPS Scholars is designed to achieve equitable outcomes for all undergraduates who are interested in the mathematical and physical sciences. All students intending to major in MPS are invited to benefit from MPS Scholars.
MPS Scholars is generously supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
How we achieve this
MPS Scholars connects students with opportunities designed to enhance educational and career success, including:

- Research opportunities both on and off campus
- Networking events with alumni and helpful connections to scientists in industry
- Timely information and resources for students planning to go to graduate school
- New courses that help students get oriented at Cal, find their best paths through the science majors, and get prepared for research and internship opportunities, such as MPS 1: Navigating the Mathematical and Physical Sciences
- A vibrant supportive community and a network of organizations that span Astronomy, Earth & Planetary Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics
- Timely, valuable information about educational and career opportunities
- Assistance navigating the array of services and organizations of interest to science students
- Annual retreats and events where science students can get to know one another, interact with faculty and advisers in a relaxed and encouraging setting, establish and renew their own highest aspirations, and be inspired
- Encouragement, guidance, advocacy, and accurate, useful information from others in the science community
- And more!
