Entering Graduate Fellowships

The Center for German and European Studies announces the availability of fellowships in the amount of $10,000 ($5,000 each semester), Fall 2003 and Spring 2004 for outstanding entering graduate students who demonstrate an interest in modern European studies. The sponsoring unit must agree to provide tuition and fee waivers for students who are selected. The Center will also provide a matching grant of $5,000 for a third semester (Fall 2004), provided that the nominating department continues the tuition and fee waiver support and agrees to provide an additional $5,000 to the student. The department's contribution can come in the form of a GSI or GSR appointment. The student's graduate advisor is required to write a brief narrative report on their progress each semester.

Nominations should be submitted by the sponsoring department or professional school. Campuses other than UC Berkeley and UC San Diego must route the nominations through their Contracts and Grants office. Nominations should include the student's complete application file--transcripts, GRE scores, statement of purpose, letters of reference--and a letter of nomination from the department. These should be sent to:
