EXITO PLUS
EXITO PLUS
EXITO PLUS (Pathway Leading to Uninterrupted Success) is a funding opportunity from the Genentech Foundation to support EXITO Alumni impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recruitment and selection for this opportunity occurred during Winter '20. If you were accepted into PLUS, we can't wait to work with you starting 7/1 (but not around the 4th of July holiday - enjoy the sun!) Cassandra, the PLUS Program Manager, will be reaching out about onboarding tasks in mid-June.
Since PLUS is here to support participants' research pathways during COVID, Scholars accepted into the program can complete the program early if they want/need to (ex. you enrolled in graduate/professional school, you got an internship, etc.). This means PLUS might have some terms of funding available for Fall '21 and Winter '22. We anticipate having a second round of recruitment in the Summer. If you would like to be notified if a second round of recruitment occurs, please complete the interest form at the bottom of this page.
Please read through our eligibility requirements before completing the interest form! Feel free to reach out with any questions: EXITO@pdx.edu
To be eligible for EXITO PLUS, applicants must:
Be PSU EXITO alumni who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC)
Be current PSU students or PSU alumni*
Be a PSU BUILD EXITO Alumni (including Cohort 4)
Not be currently enrolled in graduate school
*Since this is a PSU foundation program only PSU EXITO Scholars are eligible.
