Support for Undergraduate Students

As part of its commitment to academic excellence, CSW|Streisand Center encourages the development of scholarly and professional skills among UCLA undergraduate students interested in research related to women, gender, and sexuality. CSW|Streisand Center also employs undergraduate students who gain valuable experience and training that enhance their professional careers. Students have learned how to prepare for a conference, develop a website, conduct basic research, write a blog post, use subject-specific databases, and succeed in a university workplace.

Awards & Grants

  • The Constance Coiner Undergraduate Prize honors the life and continues the work of Constance Coiner, PhD, who died along with her daughter, Ana Duarte-Coiner, on TWA Flight 800, in June of 1996. Applications are welcome from upper-division students (with a GPA of 3.0 or higher) who demonstrate an early interest in working-class and feminist issues as well as activist practice for social change.
  • The Elizabeth Blackwell, MD, Undergraduate Award, made possible through the generosity of Jean Stone, recognizes a publishable research report, thesis, or published article by a UCLA undergraduate student relating to women, health, or women in health-related sciences. (Examples include medicine, biological and other sciences, public health, sociology of medicine, history of science, or health policy.)
  • The Renaissance Award, made possible through the generous donation of Myrna Hant, PhD, rewards the rebirth of academic aspirations among women or transgender, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) people whose college careers were interrupted or delayed by family and/or career obligations and encourages achievement in the pursuit of a bachelor’s degree at UCLA.
  • Travel Grants, offered twice a year in fall and winter, enable undergraduate students to present papers at or attend a professional conference related to their research on women, gender, and sexuality.
