The UCSF Weill Fellows program offers crucial financial support to PhD students in the Neuroscience Graduate Program, which is consistently ranked among the top graduate programs globally by U.S. News and World Report.
This support empowers students to follow their passions by working with mentors in areas of research that excite them most, rather than focusing on whether a mentor has sufficient financial resources that are traditionally required to support a student. In turn, this will help UCSF to continue its success in attracting the very best young scientists who will become the next generation of leaders in neuroscience.
