UF students who are accepted into the MARC GatorSTAR program become MARC fellows for up to two years. Every semester during this time, MARC fellows participate in intensive research with a UF faculty research mentor and complete MARC programs to enhance their academic preparation and research skills.
MARC fellows receive a stipend of approximately $1,200 per month, a scholarship for up to 60% of their tuition, and travel support to attend one scientific conference per year and to participate in summer research at another institution in the summer of the second program year. In their senior year, fellows receive personalized guidance in the application and interview process for top graduate programs.
