BioLegend Fellowship Program
The Program in Immunology, a collaboration between La Jolla Institute for Immunology and UC San Diego, is requesting applications for the next round of the BioLegend Graduate Fellowships in Immunology. The award will provide $25,000 solely for partial support of tuition and fees for one year to a student who is currently in their second year or third year (as of September 2025), enrolled in the Biological Sciences or Biomedical Sciences graduate programs, and who has applied for or is enrolled in the Specialization in Immunology. The awardee is required to list BioLegend support as a
"BioLegend Fellow" in any subsequent publications and presentations for the entire length of their graduate studies. The award cannot be accepted if the student already has another graduate award (N.S.F., NIH F31, etc.). US citizenship or permanent residency is not a requirement for the applicants.
Applications will be due on October 31st, 2025, and the funds for one awardee will be awarded soon after the decision.
The applicants should provide the following:
- Full Contact Information
- Graduate transcript
- Statement of research interests (one-page limit)
- Support letter from thesis advisor
Applications should be sent as a single PDF file by email to Amanda Sangari at alsangari@ucsd.edu. Questions about the process or application can also be directed to her.
