Fung Fellowship at UC Berkeley

Thank you to Christopher Schaefbauer from Pinterest for speaking to our Fung Fellows!

Guest lectures are just one of the many reasons that make the Fung Fellowship what it is, offering opportunities for our students to learn through meaningful experiences.

Think you need to be an engineer to work on big societal problems? Think again.

The Fung Fellowship is a unique program created by UC Berkeley's Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership to bring together engineering and non-engineering undergraduates from across campus and disciplines at Berkeley Engineering.

Applications for Fall 2026 are currently open (through April 5). Apply here: https://funginstitute.berkeley.edu/fung-fellows/?utm_source=video&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=facebook&utm_term=flagship-video

Hello! We know that our December 14 application deadline came and went during a chaotic time of year. With studying and exam prep, it's easy for things to slip through the cracks - like applying to the Spring 2026 Fung Fellowship.

So, we've decided to extend our application deadline for another week. If you were hoping to apply for the Fung Fellowship and time got away from you, you've got a second chance!

Our extended, final deadline is Sunday, December 21 at 11:59pm PT.
Apply: bit.ly/FFSp26App

Join our community of innovators and tackle real-world challenges in sustainability and health alongside a network of community and industry partners. We’d love to have you join us.

We had a great time at our Fung Fellowship Alumni Panel, where alumni helped our current Fung Fellows by sharing career advice and refining their interview skills.

Thank you to everyone who made this such an engaging event!
