Description
Fiat Lux Scholarship makes a profound impact on our campus community by shaping and informing each incoming class of freshmen with their resilience and unique life experiences.
UC Berkeley's faculty established the Fiat Lux Scholarship in 2015 with the goal of attracting to Berkeley high-achieving students from local high schools in the Bay Area, Central Coast area (Salinas), San Jose, Sequoia, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. This proven and highly successful program promotes 'giving back' by encouraging scholars to do outreach in local high schools with the support of Berkeley's Center for Educational Partnerships. The scholars act as important, aspirational role models for the high school students. In partnership with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the scholars also help out at college information sessions at various events and high schools.
