C1.6 Financial Assistance

Updated: May 11th, 2012

The University provides fellowship support to students of diverse backgrounds who will contribute to the level of diversity within their discipline or in the graduate community at large. Diversity fellowships are available at various stages of a graduate career to students who have shown strong academic achievement in the face of economic, social, and/or educational disadvantages.

Students requiring a letter supporting “proof of diversity” for a fellowship application, should contact GDP (643-6010, grad.diversity@berkeley.edu).

For information on diversity fellowships and other fellowship support, see “Diversity Fellowships” and “Fellowships” in the “Financial Assistance” chapter of this guide ( Section G1.3). The Graduate Diversity Program Director is happy to assist departments with fellowship questions regarding nomination clarifications and general assistance to enhance the procurement of student fellowships. Please contact GDP (643-6010, grad.diversity@berkeley.edu).
