The Fung Fellowship at UC Berkeley
An entrepreneurship and innovation program that connects diverse undergraduate students to community and industry partners with opportunities to develop technology solutions that address our society’s most pressing problems in public health, conservation, and sustainability.
Transfer students are a vital part of the Fung Fellowship community. They bring unique perspectives, experiences, and energy that enrich our cohort and spark new ideas. We know that transitioning to UC Berkeley can be both exciting and a bit overwhelming, so we focus on building a strong sense of community from the start. Through mentorship, team projects, and shared learning experiences, we help transfer students connect, belong, and thrive as they explore innovation, technology, and social impact.
