All graduate students at the University of California pay quarterly (academic year) registration fees; those who are not California residents also pay nonresident tuition. Students generally establish residency during their first year living in the state. The Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, faculty, and researchers make a strong effort to provide financial support to graduate students who are making satisfactory academic progress. Many students are funded throughout their time in graduate school.
Sources of support include: fellowships (based on both merit and need), research assistantships (generally associated with competetive grants secured by faculty, researchers, and students), and teaching assistantships (during which graduate students collaborate with faculty and lecturers to run courses, discussion sections, and/or labs). These forms of support often include fees, tuition, health insurance, and a monthly stipend for living expenses.
Please discuss fellowship, research assistantship, TAship and other forms of graduate student support with your primary advisor or (for applicants) prospective advisor.
