Application Form

Financial Assistance

Your three letters of recommendation will also be used as a part of your internship applications once admitted to the UCDC program. Please ask your recommenders to describe your abilities and qualities aimed at potential internships as well as admission to the program. It is important that the letters of recommendation include as much detailed information about you as possible.

Letters should be written in standard format and should be addressed to:


UCDC, Office of Undergraduate Education

Attn: Trina Elerts
321 Surge Building
University of California, Riverside
Riverside, CA 92521

  • Two letters of recommendation from UCR faculty members.
  • Letter of recommendation from an employer or internship director. If no employer or internship director is available, the third letter may be from a TA or other academic reference.

Applications are considered incomplete if three letters of recommendation are not included by the deadline posted. If you are unsure that a letter of recommendation will be submitted by the deadline, give yourself more options (i.e., ask another person to write a letter supporting your application). Applications with more than three letters of recommendation will not be penalized.
