Support the Buscadores Program
The Buscadores (Searchers) Program at UC Riverside guides students in the next stage of their academic journey as they explore medical school, law school, graduate school, and other prestigious and professional programs.
How Do We Help Students?
- Provide writing support for their application essays, such as a statement of purpose, personal history, and secondary essays, critical components of all life-defining applications.
- Match students with experienced University Writing Program faculty who guide those seeking future career opportunities requiring advanced degrees.
- Demystify the “hidden” curriculum of application essays and offer multiple opportunities for meaningful feedback, so students can complete their applications with confidence.
We welcome UCR students at any stage of the writing process. If you want to know more, please visit our webpage by clicking here, and see our Success Stories Map here.
Why It Matters
There are many programs that provide writing support. So what makes us unique and effective? We are an experienced team of University Writing Program instructors who will provide tried-and-true writing strategies to UCR students as they complete their application essays for advanced degrees. The support we provide is personalized, interactive, consistent, and based on a student's specific needs. We can guide them, wherever they are in the process. We work with other programs on campus to provide the comprehensive guidance and a network of support our students need, and our weekly series of workshops, labs, and 1-on-1 mentoring is designed with them and their schedule in mind.
Make your Give Day gift today to help students access the guidance they need to pursue advanced degrees and achieve their academic and professional goals.
