Entering students may, however, receive offers covering all the years of study through degree attainment. Some federally-funded awards provide additional summer coverage. Departmental fellowships and grants are awarded in varying amounts and may include registration fees and nonresident tuition.
Awards are competitive and open to all graduate students.
Recipients of fellowships, traineeships, and grants must maintain satisfactory progress throughout their tenure. They must be registered and enrolled each quarter for a minimum of 8 units and are expected to devote fulltime to study and research.
