UCSD Internal Fellowships

UCSD offers a number of internal fellowships for which your department needs to nominate you.

Frieda Daum Urey Academic Fellowship - 2007-08

Awarded to students who have had a significant hiatus in their studies. Significant can be as little as two or three years for students in science and engineering or who have served in the military, but should be at least five years for everyone else. The fellowship should also make a critical difference in your financial ability to attend UCSD. Ph.D. students will be preferred, but master's and professional students are also eligible. School of Medicine academic and professional programs are not eligible.

Oceanids Memorial Fellowship

This fellowship will be awarded to a graduate student who has exhibited academic excellence and financial need at the General Campus of UCSD or the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. This fellowship of $2,000.00 will be awarded to the best qualified individual who is also a resident of the United States.

For both of these, the nomination process on the part of your department is the same:

Please submit the following documents:

1. Letter from the department chair or graduate adviser covering the following:

• The nominee's academic performance to date and potential for making significant contributions to research, teaching, and/or artistic activity.
• How the nominee meets the specific eligibility requirements of the award.
• The nominee's financial need.

2. If an incoming student, a copy of the nominee's application for admission, including statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, undergraduate transcript, and GRE scores.

3. If a continuing student, nominee's UCSD transcript.

All of the above materials must be received by Kathryn Murphy no later than Friday, April 27, 2007. The awardees will be announced in May.
