“We congratulate you on earning a scholarship to Berkeley College to continue your education and build upon your impressive record of achievement,” said Michael J. Smith, President of Berkeley College. “We believe in you and your future. As you consider the choices before you, take a moment to think about how you can best utilize your talents to positively change the lives of others. The only limits to your success are the limits you place on yourself.”
President Smith noted that Berkeley College is able to pivot with the needs of students in a COVID-19 climate by conducting courses online when necessary and onsite for students who prefer a traditional teaching and learning experience once COVID-19 isolation orders are lifted. “Berkeley College offers the best of both worlds,” added President Smith.
First-year Berkeley College scholarship award recipients have the option to enroll in a college credit course during the forthcoming semester, and to participate in virtual programming designed to support and prepare students to achieve success and make the most out of their Berkeley College experience. Prospective students can meet virtually with the admissions counselor, participate with their family in a FAFSA workshop, or attend a career-specific workshop with students and faculty on popular programs such as interior or graphic design, criminal justice or data business science, for example.
More than $47 million in Berkeley College institutional aid was provided to qualified students during the 2018-2019 award year.
