2006 Achievement Award
Volunteer Opportunities


I enjoy volunteering for TAAP for two reasons. First, it is a wonderful way to give back to Cal - the place that gave so much to me. But more importantly, I can make a difference by sharing my love of Cal with students who otherwise might not have access to Berkeley, allowing them to enjoy a rewarding and fulfilling experience at the best university in the world.

Volunteer for the Achievement Award Program!

Incoming students to Cal need YOU to assist with the spring selection process by:

  • Reading applications
  • Interviewing scholarship candidates
  • Identifying potential interview sites in your respective city/region

    The Achievement Award program expects to receive a record number of applications this year from students throughout the state of California. YOUR help is needed to review these applications in order to select our semi-finalists who will be invited to an interview with Cal alums. The application review is an extremely important and rewarding process, so contact us today to participate!
