UC Merced STEP Scholars Program

Strengthening Talents and Exploring Pathways (STEP) is a new and exciting program designed for students to transition into their academic and career interests. As a STEP Scholar, students receive a range of special privileges and professional connections on and off campus. STEP aims to empower students to take ownership of their education and professional advancement. STEP is open to all UC Merced students who are first generation, from low-income families, or have a documented disability. If you are interested in applying to STEP, please submit an Intake Form. STEP is a TRiO funded Student Support Services (SSS) Program. There is a list of benefits to joining STEP and program objectives to assure an enriched learning and academic success at UC Merced.
