<p>Hi everyone! I currently go to UC Berkeley and work with a volunteer outreach program that helps high school seniors applying to colleges, not just UC’s, seek free advice and help on their application, finaid, etc. I just want to tell you NorCal and SoCal residents interested in UCB about the IAP Program. It’s a scholarship program specifically for low-income students with a minimum GPA in 3.5. Although most UCB applicants need to have competitive SAT/ACT scores, the IAP program gives more leeway. You have to be a part of a partner high school, which is usually public and possibly some private schools, and be one of five nominated students from your school. Make sure you talk to your college counselors about this! It’s such a great opportunity, especially for those of you with low-income and lower SAT scores. You have to start bugging your counselors about this soon though, I think the nomination deadline is end of November. </p>
