The Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) is an initiative of the National Science Foundation (NSF) designed to increase diversity among students who complete doctoral programs in science, engineering, and math and enter faculty careers. UCSD AGEP is a partner in this initiative to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (African American, Hispanic/Latino, Puerto Rican, Native American and, Native Pacific Islander) who enter graduate school in these disciplines. UCSD AGEP provides activities and support services for eligible undergraduate and graduate students.

UCSD AGEP offers several opportunities for eligible undergraduate students as well as incoming and continuing graduate students to enhance their studies and receive funding.
