The Achievement Award Program
Since 1999, The Achievement Award Program (TAAP) has provided low-income students with the resources needed to attend and excel at UC Berkeley. TAAP serves high-achieving, community-minded students from the moment they choose UC Berkeley through their undergraduate career. This scholarship comes with holistic programming to assist scholars in their personal, academic, and professional growth. Participation in this programming is a mandatory part of being an Alumni Scholar and will connect you to a community of scholars, alumni, and staff to help you navigate Cal.
