Your "Berkeley Undergraduate Scholarship" will appear in CalCentral beginning in the spring. Starting in the late summer, the amount of the scholarship will convert to an actual named scholarship award. For example, your $6,000 Berkeley Undergraduate Scholarship may be converted to two different scholarships, like a Campanile Scholarship for $4,500 and a Phoebe Hearst Scholarship for $1,500. The named scholarships should total to the same amount of your initial Berkeley Undergraduate Scholarship award, unless there is a change to your overall eligibility. Complete and submit the University of California Application for Freshman or Transfer Admission and Scholarships by the deadline. Because some scholarships are awarded to students who meet specific criteria established by donor, cite your characteristics, such as ancestry and professional interests, in the "Scholarships" section.
