Join us in our Mission to Support our Students by Contributing to these Software Engineering Graduate Awards

The UCI Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) has two graduate awards geared towards supporting software engineering students. Are you interested in supporting our students through these awards?

The Richard N. Taylor Graduate Award in Software Engineering was established in Fall 2018. This was the first award in ICS specifically dedicated to software engineering. It honors the legacy of ISR Founding Director and Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus Richard N. Taylor. You can read more about it in this article.

The Rosalva Gallardo Valencia Graduate Award in ICS was established by alumna Rosalva Gallardo Valencia (Ph.D. 2012) to honor her Latino heritage and support graduate students in need. The establishment of this award fulfilled her dream of giving back and supporting graduate students as they pursue their degrees. You can read more about it in this article.
