UC Berkeley's Scholarship Connection office administers the application process for the fourteen prestigious scholarships described on the left. Most of these awards require a campus endorsement before the applications can be forwarded to the final levels of competition. To help students prepare competitive applications, Scholarship Connection offers workshops and individual advising on selecting recommenders, preparing compelling personal statements, interviewing, and developing project proposals or proposed programs of study.
Advance preparation for these awards is essential. Eligible candidates should arrange an advsing appointment early in the process.
Please note: Although every effort is made to not change a published deadline, due to the staffing and budget constraints, all campus deadlines may be subject to change. Please check periodically to learn whether a deadline has changed.
Other prestigious scholarships, such as the Fulbright Grants for Graduate Study Abroad and Mellon Fellowships in the Humanities, are administered in UC Berkeley's Graduate Division Fellowships Office, 318 Sproul.
