What is your scholarship story?

As a recipient of a privately funded scholarship, we invite you to complete a student profile on this site.

Imagine this: Years ago, a student like you dreamed of attending UC Berkeley but faced financial challenges. Thanks to the generosity of a donor who once walked these same paths and believed in the power of education, they received a scholarship that made Berkeley possible.

Years later, reflecting upon their time at Berkeley and feeling grateful for how that time contributed to their success, this former student decides to give back. They recall the impact their scholarship had and decide to support students in the same major they once pursued. When they read the stories of current Berkeley students whose journeys they’re empowering, they feel immense joy knowing that they're making a difference.

So, what's your scholarship story? Let it be heard and continue the legacy of generosity that makes Berkeley such a special community.

As you begin this process, please note it will take approximately 30 minutes to an hour to complete. You can save your progress along the way and return to it at your convenience. We recommend working on your profile on a computer rather than on a phone. After you finish, we'll review your profile for grammar and spelling before sharing it with donors in a report. See a sample report.

Thank you for taking the time to give back in this meaningful way.
