A
listing of popular diversity fellowship opportunities is provided to our current and prospective graduate students in addition to the national search tools referenced below.
A number of external agencies, foundations, or other entities offer external (aka extramural) fellowships or grants to diversity students that are portable; i.e., offered to an individual student by an external organization or agency for study at the university the student attends. These fellowships are awards or grants that the student does not have to pay back. Continuing and entering graduate students at UCI are strongly encouraged to individually apply to these portable diversity fellowship programs. Extramural fellowships are an excellent source to augment financial support and quality of life for many of UCI’s graduate students. These fellowships typically provide payment of university fees, tuition, and/or a stipend for living expenses. The opportunities are vast.
Since these awards attract applicants from across the country, they are competitive so UCI provides resources to help you be successful as you enter into the world of grant writing. Grant writing resources available to you as a UCI student include guidance from your faculty advisors, help in constructing your curriculum vitae from
UCI’s Career Center, national
search tools and final
editing assistance offered by UCI’s Office of Research and Graduate Studies.
