The Beckman Scholars Program at USC Chemistry, funded by a generous grant from the Arnold & Mabel Beckman Foundation, supports exceptionally talented undergraduates to conduct in-depth, mentored research. Research topics include human health, protecting and healing the environment, discovery of new energy sources, and more. Leveraging unique research and academic programs within the Department of Chemistry and USC more broadly, the program aims to prepare Scholars for pursuing advanced STEM studies and leadership roles in scientific research and innovation.
