A Scholarship Program That Changes Lives
The Incentive Awards Program (IAP) provides financial support in scholarship funds over eight semesters, and student support services to low-income students and first generation college students who have demonstrated leadership potential, high academics, and a commitment to serve others.
IAP reaches out to first-generation college students who have overcome great socioeconomic disadvantages through its partnerships with 49 Northern California high schools, and 22 Los Angeles high schools through its Pre-Collegiate Academy.
IAP Vision
IAP believes that education is an equalizer and a means to empower dynamic young community leaders.
The Incentive Awards Program (IAP) is committed to providing an avenue for high-achieving students who have overcome socio-economic barriers to advance their education and success at UC Berkeley and beyond.
We realize this mission by:
-
Inspiring first-generation college and low-income high school students to seek a post-secondary education, and encouraging them to apply to and attend UC Berkeley.
-
Recruiting applicants who reflect the diverse populations of their high schools and who are committed to mentoring younger students.
-
Providing the tools, empowerment, and support services to help IAP Scholars successfully navigate their academic careers and graduate from UC Berkeley.
-
Counseling Scholars in their future endeavors, and by cultivating community leaders.
