As a recipient of privately funded graduate student support, we invite you to complete a student profile on this site.

This profile is more than just a form; it's an opportunity to contribute to the Berkeley community in a meaningful way. Imagine that a donor, once a graduate student at Berkeley, had a pivotal experience working with a specific professor. This experience shaped their career trajectory and led to significant research breakthroughs. Years later, inspired by their time at Berkeley, they decided to give back to their alma mater. They chose to support students in their former department, ensuring that others could have transformative experiences and launch successful careers.

By sharing your journey — your studies, your research, and the impact of fellowship support — you show donors the profound impact of their philanthropy and encourage future support for students like you.

As you begin this process, please note it will take approximately 30 minutes to an hour to complete. You can save your progress along the way and return to it at your convenience. We recommend working on your profile on a computer rather than on a phone. Once finished, we will lightly edit your profile for grammar and spelling before sharing it with the donors in a report. See an example report.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to give back in this meaningful way.
