The Penn State Berks Cohen-Hammel Fellows Program is a pioneering initiative that will help talented and engaged students to become proud Penn State Berks alumni and community leaders.

The program was established in Fall 2019 and has been updated for the Fall 2022 cohort. Students who are in good academic standing and have declared their intent to complete a 4 year baccalaureate degree at Penn State Berks can apply for the fellowship in the Spring semester of their first year at Berks. 

Fellows will receive a $30,000 scholarship over 3 years,
work closely with a faculty mentor and supervisor,
give back to the local community through service and leadership,
and receive additional funding for research, conferences, materials, and more.

First year students are encouraged to speak with their academic advisors and then submit an application to the Cohen-Hammel Fellows Program.
