MARC Scholar Support

Tuition, Stipend, and Travel Support

All MARC GatorSTAR scholars are eligible to receive the following support, beginning in the summer prior to their junior year:

  • Research stipend of approximately $1,100 per month
  • Scholarship for tuition (up to 60% of the tuition)
  • Registration, travel, housing, and meals to attend ABRCMS in the scholar’s junior or senior year
  • Registration, travel, housing, and meals to attend a regional or national scientific meeting
  • Travel, housing, and meals to participate in an extramural summer research experience (SRE)

The financial support is intended to allow MARC GatorSTAR scholars to devote full attention to their studies and research, and therefore scholar must agree to not be employed in any manner during their participation in the program.
