Please note: Federal financial aid regulations require that all awards received by a student cannot exceed their financial aid need as determined by a congressional formula. It is possible, therefore, that the cash award for a Prize could reduce some component of a needy student’s package of financial aid awards. In these cases, the Financial Aid Office attempts first to reduce loan or work aid; fellowships, grants or scholarships are only reduced as a last resort. Regardless of your financial aid situation, the IRS views fellowships, grants or scholarships that are not directly applied to tuition or other educational expenses as taxable income.
Please submit the following materials as a single PDF upload using the Online Registration and Eligibility Form by the deadline:
- A current CV or resume.
- A brief 2-page essay describing prior experience, course work, and career objectives. Must demonstrate a commitment to work in the areas of housing policy or affordable housing development.
- A copy of your UC Berkeley transcript (unofficial is fine).
