Fellowships for New Students
Other Pages In UCSB Fellowships
Incoming students indicate on the application for admission whether or not they are interested in being considered for fellowship support.
All candidates are nominated directly by the academic department. Multi-disciplinary faculty committees select award recipients. The award committees look at the departmental ranking of each nominated candidate, GPA, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and each candidate’s statement of purpose. All award selection processes are very competitive.
