UC San Diego UJIMA Network Black History Month Scholarship

The UC San Diego UJIMA Network Black History Month Scholarship Fund, named in Honor of Mary S. and Joseph W. Watson, makes scholarship awards annually to enrolled UC San Diego undergraduate students who have demonstrated academic and creative achievement in the study of African Americans and their history and culture. To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must be nominated by a UC San Diego faculty member who documents and describes the excellence, creativity, and/or significance of the student’s research or performance. Awards are given to undergraduate students for either research papers or publicly presented creative works in the performing arts and humanities or the social and natural sciences.

The UJIMA Network, an alliance of black staff, faculty, students, alumni, and community at UCSD, endeavors to create a medium which fosters opportunities for African American staff, faculty, students, alumni, and community members. The UJIMA Network supports all programs and services aimed at advancing the educational, cultural, and professional conditions of African American individuals internal and external to the campus community.
