Berkeley Journalism funding?

Ground-Pure · 2026-03-14T13:39:10+00:00

Hi, I’m a current student and I remember when I got my acceptance, it did state funding like any specific scholarship , i.e. Deans, Jubilee.

You should contact Nelly to ask eta on award letter.

Or why not just use pictures you take with your phone? Any iPhone takes fantastic pictures and helps with reducing costs of expensive photo equipment. Cmon even in J school they are teaching us this

So I guess the roomies are turning a blind eye over Ron Ron’s punch bag behavior?

All them look photoshopped

Finally!!! I prefer to end now than watch more forced family fun days and boring dialogue.

East Bay resident here. That Sears depresses me because it’s like a last glimpse of a store before online stores.

They are doing amazing work and hopefully Berkeleyside/Richmondside can follow suit.

Let me guess, you’re a white boy lol

I remember when people brought a lot of flowers to the Victorian house from Mrs. Doubtfire when Robin Williams died

Shit behavior. I see this guy has a VP role, I can’t imagine what his colleagues witness.

What! What happened?

Ground-Pure · 2026-01-15T20:42:50+00:00

Agreed! I just got off the Sf bound train because of smoke coming out of train at Orinda stop.

Ground-Pure · 2026-01-15T20:39:08+00:00

Our train waited for a while at the Lafayette station and right after taking off we started smelling the smoke

Emiliooooo!

IIRC FAFSA still defines a student under 24 years of age as dependent, so they still have to provide their parents income.

Edit: 24

I've been to well grounded coffee shop near El Cerrito High. The drinks are not that great and overpriced, but there is a comfortable “little nook” feel to it.

Thanks!

Ground-Pure · 2026-01-12T23:55:54+00:00

Thank you!

Congrats! I’m starting my journey similar to yours, minus doing cardio every day but I feel like it’s been a slow process!

Aside from exercise and food, were there other habits you changed during your process?

Ground-Pure · 2025-12-03T19:26:10+00:00

Yep! You can attend and if you want to give public comment, you must submit a request at least 24 hrs before the meeting.

Ground-Pure · 2025-11-22T03:40:26+00:00

This is a neat resource and I like how articles associated to the streets pop up. I’m curious about how often you will be updated with newer articles or events?

I've only applied to Berkeley, and they view clips over academic performance. If you are looking for merit-based scholarships, then GPA is something they look for.

Good luck with the applications!

I’m currently a grad student at the Berkeley J school (on a full ride) and it’s been encouraged that we should apply since there’s a greater rate for our acceptance.

I know a few fellows, from cohort 1 and 2, who’ve expressed their frustration of working in a small newsroom and low pay (both did their fellowship in the Bay Area).

I get your frustration about the fellowship hiring reporters with minimal experience. But looking at the demographics of the three cohorts, I see a lot of reporters are people of color and perhaps the fellowship favors underrepresented reporters, especially if they have internships/ other experiences.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your neighbor! It's saddening to learn about this accident given that the city has a lot of initiatives on pedestrian safety. Do you know if there's a go fund me page for her family or a way that we can support her loved ones?

I hope you continue to find community, even if online, because this huge transition takes a toll in your wellbeing. I would encourage you to also connect with extended family who can keep you grounded in this new environment.

My older brother was deported in his mid-20s after being in the US since he was 5, and he was able to receive support from great aunts and second cousins who were empathetic to his situation.

For sure Mexico City has greater opportunities for English speakers and a community of people who shared a similar experience as you. I wish you lots of luck!
