fellowship – Lorre Scholars Program

OVERVIEW

The TBBT Graduate Fellowship continues support for TBBT Scholars who wish to pursue graduate education in the STEM fields within the University of California system. The TBBT Graduate Fellowship provides each Fellow with an award of up to $20,000 per year, for up to five years of approved STEM graduate study within the University of California system. Awards will be administered by the graduate division or equivalent unit within each University of California institution.

The UCLA Chuck Lorre Scholars Program Director will be responsible for collecting all relevant data on incoming TBBT Scholars’ interest during their first year of the program. This data will serve as a guide for subsequent conversations with The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation to ascertain additional TBBT Graduate Fellowship endowment support.
