Benefits of University of California, Berkeley 2025 Fiat Lux Scholarship
Monetary Award and Scholarship Tenure
Scholars are awarded up to their full financial need based on the California resident student budget, as determined by the UC Berkeley Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. Awards are renewed annually for a maximum of eight semesters, provided the scholar maintains satisfactory academic progress and has continued financial need. Maintaining a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average is encouraged.
Faculty Mentor
Scholars are matched with a faculty mentor who provides guidance and encouragement on their long-term academic, personal, and professional growth. Mentors are volunteers from the Academic Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Honors, and Financial Aid (CUSHFA) and the faculty at large.
Fiat Lux Scholars Association (FLSA)
Scholars are automatic members of this student organization that sponsors academic and social activities, community service projects, and outreach events to Fiat Lux Partner schools. Sponsored activities will allow scholars to network with faculty, staff, and their peers in an informal environment.
