Q: I am not a US Citizen. What opportunities am I eligible for?

A: Non-US citizens are eligible to apply for all Matsui Center and IGS programs and opportunities. This includes permanent residents; undocumented students and DACA recipients; those holding Temporary Protective Status, refugee status, or asylum status; F-1 and J-1 visa holders.

In the case of internship placements, some restrictions may apply depending on status. However, these restrictions do not preclude participation in the program. Students with specific concerns are encouraged to reach out to our team (matsuicenter@berkeley.edu).

Non-immigrant visa holders are encouraged to consult the Berkeley International Office to confirm eligibility to receive payment, either in the form of a campus stipend or directly paid internship.
