Congratulations!

Welcome to UC Berkeley

CE3

CE3 offers a comprehensive array of counseling programs, supplemental aid, and scholarships to support former foster youth, veterans, student parents, undocumented students, first generation students, low-income students, and transfer students of all ages and life experiences. We connect students in need with critical resources — from holistic academic guidance, scholarships, mentoring, and career preparation to nutrition and child care support. The students we serve come from diverse backgrounds and the programs we offer reflect the complexity of their experience.
