Dissertation Year Fellowship DUE 2/25/22

The deadline to submit the application for the UCLA Dissertation Year Fellowship will be by 2/25/22. This program is intended to support doctoral students who are advanced to candidacy at the time of nomination by their department to the Graduate Division.  Applicants should be within one year of completing and filing the dissertation and planning to start teaching or research appointments soon after the end of their dissertation fellowship year.

Award: 

Program participants will receive a $20,000 stipend plus standard tuition and fees (excluding nonresident supplemental tuition and professional degree supplemental tuition).

Eligibility: 

1. Are officially advanced to doctoral candidacy at the time they are nominated by their departments (for 2022-23, by March 25, 2022). “Officially” means ATC documents have been received by the Graduate Division’s Academic Services;
2. Will file their dissertations within 12 months of beginning their fellowships. The thoroughness with which nominees have provided details in their application for completion of their dissertation is an important element in assessing their candidacy for a Dissertation Year Fellowship;
3. Are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, international or registered California AB540 students. For international students, funding is subject to fellowship eligibility in regards to visa type. For those under AB540, funding will be provided only if AB131 is still in effect for the duration of the fellowship.
