SkyDeck Intern
Scholarship

Program Overview

SkyDeck Intern Scholarship is SkyDeck’s initiative to support UC Berkeley undergraduate students with financial need by providing stipends for internships at SkyDeck startups. Funded through the SkyDeck Internship Fund, this program helps make startup opportunities more accessible to students who may otherwise be unable to pursue unpaid roles. Each spring and fall, a select group of undergraduate students is awarded up to $4,000 for their semester-long internships at a SkyDeck startup.

Eligibility

To be eligible, the student must:

Be an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley
Be sophomore standing or higher
Be a current recipient of Pell Grant, Cal Grant, Chafee Grant, Parent Grant or the Fiat Lux Scholarship
Have secured an UNPAID internship with a SkyDeck startup for the Spring 2026
Not have any visa restrictions to do paid internships in the US if he/she is an international student

Requirements

In order to qualify for the award, the student must intern for at least 15 hours per week during the fall or spring semester. Students staying for the full semester will receive $4,000.

Additional benefits of the program

The recipients of the award also:

Get a tour of SkyDeck
Meet and engage with the sponsors of the scholarship

IMPORTANT: The award is going to be an additive for students who are on financial aid. In other words, the award is not going to replace the financial aid the students receive from the university or any other institution.
