Division Fellowships
Once each year,
the University Committee on Fellowships
and Graduate Scholarships (University of California, Berkeley,

for the award of several merit-based fellowships and scholarships.
The majority of these awards provide a stipend of $18,000 ($15,000
after the first year) for new students and a maximum of $17,000
for continuing students, in addition to fees and tuition.
Graduate Diversity
Fellowships, also administered by this committee, provide financial
assistance for doctoral students who demonstrate educational, social,
or economic disadvantage, or whose experience will contribute to
the overall diversity withing the student body. These awards provide
a annual stipend of $16,000 - $21,000, in addition to fees and tuition.
To be eligible for these fellowships, you must be a U.S. citizen
or permanent resident.
Applications

Normative
Time Fellowships
These
fellowships are intended to provide an incentive to reduce the average
amount of time taken to obtain the doctoral degree and to provide
an equitable assessment of fees for students advanced to candidacy.
There are two types of fellowships available. The Dean's Academic
Progress Fellowship is a university-wide, competitive fellowship
that offers, for one semester prior to advancement to candidacy,
a $7,500 stipend plus fees. For up to two semesters after advancement
to candidacy, a student may be eligible for the Dean's Normative
Time Fellowship that offers a $7,500 stipend plus fees per semester
for a total of $15,000 plus one year's fees. International students
are also eligible for these fellowships which cover non-resident
tuition as well as fees. Note that students may not engage in any
employment for the duration of these awards. Normative time, as
set by Graduate Division, is three years for Ph.D. students and four
years for M.S.W./Ph.D. students.
Non-University
Fellowships
Other public,
private, and professional organizations and agencies offer a variety
of scholarships and grants. Information is available through the
campus Graduate
Fellowships Office.
