Applying To Rose Hills
The application portal for Rose Hills Summer Scholarships is now live. Please note that the same application form is used for SURF L&S, the Haas Scholars Program, and Rose Hills Summer Scholarships.
If you are applying to any of these programs, we strongly encourage you to attend one of the Information Sessions and also plan to attend an application and proposal drafting workshop in February. In the meantime, please use the materials below to begin preparing your research proposal for Rose Hills 2024. When you are ready to submit your application, and the portal goes live, you will be able to click on the blue application portal link.
Please Note: To access the application materials (both the portal and worksheets), you must login from a bMail (berkeley.edu) account. Students external to UC Berkeley are ineligible for these programs.
Application Portal
Application Questionnaire PDF
Important: Please note that the version of this pdf posted before 6 February contained errors in the word/character counts specified for both the ‘Background and Rationale’ and ‘Research Plan and Timeline’ sections. Although these have been corrected now, we recommend drafting your research proposal in the ‘Research Proposal Worksheet’ below. If you made a copy of the pdf before February 6, please check to make sure you are observing the corrected word/character counts for those sections.
