CCC's Breaking Barriers Leadership Award sponsored by Jim & Julie Lin

The Jim and Julie Lin Breaking Barriers Leadership and Scholarship Award is granted to a student whose labor stands out among their fellow scholars. The annual scholarship award celebrates a continuing student (who intends to enroll in AY 24-25) dedicated to bringing equity, diversity, inclusion, compassion, and social justice to UC San Diego. This award is intended for those “unsung students” who labor to bring equity, diversity, inclusion, compassion, and social justice to light within the UC San Diego and the San Diego communities. Through the Cross-Cultural Center (CCC), the Jim & Julie Lin Breaking Barriers Award will be granted to a student who has demonstrated skill and passion in developing new programs or initiatives that substantially impact the CCC and the UC San Diego community.

AWARD: $1,000 + DEADLINE: 04/02/2022 11:59 pm PST

PACE Fellowship (ucsd.edu) Program

Applications for cohort in 24-25 academic year will be opening in the Spring Quarter 2024.

What are PACE Fellowship Programs?

The Personal and Career Experience (PACE) Fellowship program provides AB 540 & CA Dream Act undergraduate students opportunities to participate in an experiential learning opportunity (ELO) on campus that incorporates mentorship, professional and scholastic development with financial aid support. Students who participate in the program receive up to a $6,000 scholarship distributed through the Financial Aid Office. The PACE Fellowship program follows a cohort-based learning model.

Undocumented Student Services (USS) developed the PACE program in response to the need for inclusive fellowships at UC San Diego. "Inclusive Fellowships" (a term coined by Immigrants Rising) for undocumented students are experiential learning opportunities hosted by campus units or departments that provide aid (e.g., stipends, grants, or scholarships) for the participating fellow regardless of the student's immigration status.

Inclusive fellowships do not require recipients to have work authorization or a social security number, but require eligibility for state financial aid. Inclusive fellowships are flexible mechanisms by which educational institutions support the learning and professional development needs of undocumented students who are unable to secure a campus job or internship.

As a fellow, students will build on the movement in California higher education to break down barriers to access and equity in the classroom.
