Graduate Research

Student in a research lab.

Graduate education is a journey that prepares ambitious students to be leaders in their chosen fields, with more significant job opportunities and higher earnings. Your investment in the Graduate Research Enhancement Fund allows us to have a more substantial impact on our graduate students. Every dollar donated will be used to broaden the Mark Diamond Research Fund (MDRF), which offers grants to graduate students for research expenses related to their thesis or dissertation. At UB, we are committed to providing the academic excellence, transformative experience and accessible education these students deserve. With your help, we can continue supporting graduate education and enhancing students' graduate experience.
