Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute at University of California San Diego has announced its second annual undergraduate research scholarships. HDSI has awarded to 27 students funding 20 projects. The Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program awards $2,500 to each student project, all of them guided by experienced mentors. The yearlong fellowships focus on providing hands-on training to emerging data science talent.
All UC San Diego undergraduate students enrolled full-time are eligible to apply for research funding. Each researcher works with a mentor to develop analytical skills, data science portfolios, and foster novel data-driven approaches to problem solving. The research program is geared to producing results, with students submitting final reports highlighting accomplishments. Learn more about the HDSI Undergraduate Scholarship program.
