University Of California Berkeley graduate fellowships

The Graduate Division of the University of California Berkeley offers a variety of awards for entering graduate and doctoral students. Fellowships may provide a stipend, fees, and tuition to support the living and educational expenses of graduate study. Although Berkeley has a strong fellowship programme, the number of awards is limited. To be considered, you must be nominated by your department. If you are considered for a fellowship, your application will be judged competitively on the basis of the quality of your previous academic work, on the evidence of your ability to do research, and on your promise of becoming a productive scholar.

Entering students are eligible for Berkeley Fellowships (awarded to outstanding applicants to doctoral programmes in all fields; Chancellor's and Cota Robles Fellowships (awarded to exceptional applicants who enhance the diversity in the graduate student population at Berkeley); and Regent’s Fellowships (awarded to exceptional applicants to doctoral programmes in the humanities and social sciences who are planning a career in university teaching and research).
