  • A student receiving a 90% GIA scholarship award will have a fellowship or traineeship of similar value to a 50% FTE GA, processed in UC, Student Accounts/UniverSIS
  • Interns, placements and fellows, being paid by entities outside of UC, must be approved for GIA scholarship by the A&S Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research.

Departments have standard rates of A&S Graduate Scholarship Policy – 3/13/14 pay, most are above the Graduate School’s minimum rates. The departmental standards are the basis for determining full and partial awards. Partial scholarship awards need prior approval from the A&S Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research.
