Fellowship for University Students

Since 2018, undergraduate and graduate UC Berkeley students interested in program management, research, and getting real life experience working with a non-profit employer to produce a final project deliverable are encouraged to apply. The fellowship takes place during the second semester of the UC Berkeley school year, typically starting in January or February. Any UC Berkeley student is eligible to apply. The time commitment is 10 hours a week for three months. This annual program seeks applicants currently pursuing their university studies from a variety of majors and interests.
