Advancing Cancer Careers for ExceLlence (ACCEL) Program
San Diego State University’s Advancing Cancer Careers for ExceLlence (ACCEL) Program, in collaboration with UCSD Moores Cancer Center, supports SDSU postdoctoral fellows and graduate students annually in cancer research. The program aims to enhance diversity and inclusion by expanding the pipeline for underrepresented scholars and broadening support for pre- and postdoctoral researchers. The ACCEL program offers a comprehensive range of resources, including mentorship, workshops, and opportunities for networking with fellow cancer researchers. You can sign up for ACCEL here.

STEM Ed
STEM Ed is a program that includes opportunities and scholarships for science majors considering a career as a science teacher. We have experiences to “preview” a career in teaching, such as the MSTI Crash Course in Science Education where you shadow a science teacher for a week. This experience qualifies you to apply for a $500 MSTI scholarship. You may also apply for the MSTI scholarships if you are enrolled in a prerequisite course or enter the science teaching credential program. We have a limited number of paid tutoring positions in local schools. We also oversee the SDSU Science Noyce Scholars and Interns program where undergraduates can work in local science camps for kids. Additionally, if you enter the science teaching credential program we offer scholarships for $15,000. See https://education2.sdsu.edu/stemed or contact Dr. Donna Ross DLRoss@sdsu.edu or Kendall Hoerner khoerner@sdsu.edu for more information.
