SAGE Scholars Program Overview:

The UC Berkeley SAGE (Student Achievement Guided by Experience) Scholars Program is a leadership driven program for low-income, first-generation undergraduates of all majors. By participating in the SAGE Scholars Program, students overcome the legacy of underserved and disrupted backgrounds, stay in school, and gain valuable experience and leadership skills.

SAGE empowers students to understand the relationship between their academic pursuits and their future careers by providing them with vital professional development experiences and skills to prepare them for success. Once students experience these life-changing opportunities they develop the confidence and skills necessary to envision themselves as true leaders in their work, families, and communities.

Our mission is to promote professional leadership and career development training for undergraduates with financial need through internships, mentoring, and education. The SAGE Scholars Program is committed to working with academic, business, and outreach partners as well as the broader community.

The SAGE Scholars Program does not receive any funding from the University of California, Berkeley and completely relies on corporate and individual donations. Such contributions are highly valued at the Program and every effort is made to maximize the potential impact every dollar has on the SAGE Scholars. Please consider making a donation.
