The Latin American Institute and Program in Caribbean Studies invite applications for Summer 2025 Graduate Student Research Grants of up to $2,000.
Eligibility
Applicants must be full-time graduate students at UCLA. Applicants may be citizens of any country and may be enrolled in a graduate program in any school, department, or institute. Research conducted in Latin America will receive priority consideration, but research carried out in the US or elsewhere on a Latin America-related topic may also be considered. Students who have previously received funding may apply, but the selection committee will prioritize students who have not previously received this funding.

- Research statement (2-page limit)
- Current CV
- Itemized budget and timeline
- Two letters of recommendation
