The Engineering Coterminal Fellowships will provide partial funding in fall, winter, and/or spring quarter 2023-24. Our goal is to help with financial support for each student's academic progress within their degree program; there is no additional programming.
Each quarter, the award commits to approximately half of full graduate funding. Each quarter, the student can choose:
Tuition only fellowship equal to the 10-unit rate ($13,040/quarter in 2022-2023), OR
Match a department or faculty award of 10-hour/week CA or RA appointment. (In this situation, each source pays half of 20-hour CA/RA salary + 10-unit-tuition.)
The tuition-only fellowship can be combined with other funding, such as another partial fellowship (e.g., GEM), a partial department CA, a partial RA from faculty, or graduate loans. Because the Dean's Coterminal Fellowship is only partial funding (it does not cover living expenses), we strongly encourage applicants to pursue these other funding opportunities including more substantial funding which could replace our partial support: fellowships (NSF, Ford, etc) or 20-hour/week RA/CAships.
[See "Additional Resources" for a discussion of graduate funding and expenses, and of this particular award.]
Eligibility and Requirements:
This fellowship is available only for students who have accepted admission to coterminal MS study in the School of Engineering.
Funding is provided only after students' eligibility for undergraduate financial aid has been exhausted.
There is a strong preference for students with high financial need as undergraduates (usually determined by the Financial Aid Office) and a preference for Engineering undergrad-majors, but the program will consider others.
To receive support in any awarded-quarter, students must be fully enrolled and making satisfactory progress in their coterminal MS program in Engineering.
