Q: I am a transfer student. What opportunities am I eligible for?

A: Transfer students are eligible for apply for all Matsui Center and IGS programs.

Note that the Schaeffer Fellows program requires that students have at least one (1) semester remaining after the completion of their summer intership. For example, students who participate in the program in Summer 2026 must still be enrolled at UC Berkeley in Fall 2026. (In this scenario, students graduating in December 2026 are eligible). Transfer students who are interested in applying for the Schaeffer Fellows program are therefore encouraged to apply in their first year at Berkeley.
