The overarching goal of the University of California Global Food Initiative is “to harness the resources of the University of California—its research, people, expertise, and tradition of public service—to put the world on a pathway to feed itself in ways that are nutritious and sustainable.” To engage students in this effort, the UC Office of the President created the President’s GFI Student Fellowship Program. The program provides each campus with funding in 2017-18 for four student awards of $4,000 each.
The 2017-18 Fellowships at UC Berkeley are:
- Basic Needs: Hunger, Malnourishment, and Homelessness (graduate student)
- Equity and Inclusion (graduate student)
- Nutrition Policy and Food Environment (graduate student)
- Student Ambassador (undergraduate student)

Specific scheduling will be arranged with agreement of fellowship recipient and supervisor.
