The Graduate Fellowship Initiative (GFI) was established in 2017 as a way to 1.) diversify the types of and 2.) increase the number of student-initiated extramural fellowships awarded to UC San Diego graduate students. The Graduate Division, in partnership with a student's home academic department, will supplement tuition and fees for select extramural fellowships. The primary list of approved student-initiated extramural fellowships is below, but please note this list is not exhaustive. Should a graduate student receive a fellowship not noted anywhere on this page, please email gradadvisor@ucsd.edu to discuss the specifics. New fellowships will be added to this list as the program continues.
Extramural fellowships are funded by agencies/organizations that are not associated or affiliated with the UC system, including UC San Diego. Fellowships awarded by the Graduate Division, graduate program, campus, and/or the UC system are considered intramural funds and are not eligible under this initiative, regardless of fund source. For example, block grant and FISP/CRES fellowships are not eligible. Additionally, NSF GRFP, NIH F30/F31, and NIH T32 awards are not eligible.
To request Graduate Fellowship Initiative support, departmental graduate coordinators should submit the form linked below. Students receiving extramural fellowships cannot submit this request form, instead they should work with staff in their home academic department to request GFI support.
