About the Program

Through the SAGE Scholars Program, companies offer paid internships to talented and highly motivated UC Berkeley students related to their field of study. Through these internships, companies provide invaluable real world business experience and training to students, as well as strong mentoring. In addition, SAGE Scholars participate in Career Development coursework given by professionals in industry to enhance the SAGE Scholars business and leadership skills. Corporate sponsors also contribute to a fund that covers educational costs for all interns. The program targets students with financial need who can greatly benefit from the program's unique combination of financial support, work experience and mentoring.
