Beahrs ELP Scholarships
The Beahrs ELP at UC Berkeley has resources to offer a limited number of scholarships. The program will grant partial scholarships of various amounts each year. The amount of the scholarships and the number of recipients will change each year based on the available funds. The scholarships can only be used toward the program fees, which includes lodging and accommodations, and cannot be used for travel or visa application fees.
For each scholarship, we consider the following factors:
- Financial need
- Professional experience
- Commitment and potential to achieve positive change in their community
In case of scholarships with specific criteria (e.g. geographical foci), those criteria will be used first.
Beahrs ELP Fellows Program
In addition to the partial scholarships we offer, our donors have created special fellowships for outstanding professionals. The number and amounts of this scholarship vary each year. We will select the fellowship recipients from those who indicated their financial needs in their application.
All recipients of Beahrs ELP scholarships and fellowships will be required to fully participate in the program, and may be required to provide specific feedback or participate in meetings.
