Vision

The Berkeley College Foundation aspires to provide educational access to all students pursuing a degree at Berkeley College. We strive to remove barriers for need-based students who would otherwise struggle to attend our institution. Berkely College has a highly diverse undergraduate student body, and the majority are age 23 and older, as we serve non-traditional students, such as full-time workers, parents, including single parents, and those whose aim is to fulfill a lifelong dream of obtaining a college degree. Our future vision includes expanding our undergraduate scholarship program by increasing the number of recipients and by ensuring our three campus food pantries are accessible to all students facing food insecurity issues.

Goals

1. 1.Providing scholarships to our academically deserving, need-based students is our highest priority. Our goal is to increase the number of recipients. The non-traditional student population is growing at our institution, and we wish to expand the number of scholarships to this segment.
2. 2.To continually provide access to food, personal hygiene, and diaper (for students who are parents) products to those who seek it, by distributing food bags serving our student population. In addition, we wish to maintain our popular “Grab & Go” bags with a theme of either breakfast, lunch, or dinner items and Thanksgiving and Emergency food product offerings.
