UC Davis Now Accepting Graduate Admission and Fellowship Applications for 2021-2022
UC Davis Now Accepting Graduate Admission Applications
Last week, UC Davis Graduate Studies officially launched the online graduate application for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Each year, UC Davis welcomes applicants who are committed to making substantial contributions to their academic or professional fields through teaching, research or professional practice. Our students contribute to the global pool of future scholars and leaders, so high value is placed on achieving a diverse graduate student body to support the University of California’s academic excellence.
Application deadlines vary by program. A full list of graduate programs and deadlines can be found on the Graduate Programs and Deadlines page. Additional information regarding program-specific admission requirements is available on individual Graduate Programs pages, and general eligibility criteria can be found on the admission requirements page.
Fellowship Competition for Incoming and Continuing Graduate Students
Using the application for admission, UC Davis also awards approximately 25 prestigious fellowships to prospective graduate students. UC Davis uses a variety of internal fellowship funds to support academic graduate students. Internal fellowships can provide financial support in the form of a stipend (or "living allowance"), Tuition & Fee, Nonresident Supplemental Tuition (NRST), research, travel or any combination of these. The value of the fellowships varies from $1,000 to as much as a $50,000/year award.
The application for the 2021-2022 Internal Fellowship Competition for UC Davis Continuing Academic Graduate Students also opened last week. This annual competition awards over 125 fellowships are valued at approximately $3 million dollars. A "continuing student" is a student who has already been officially admitted to UC Davis, is registered and enrolled in classes during the current academic year, and will be registered and enrolled during the academic year in which the funding will be paid. It is recommended that all eligible continuing academic graduate students apply on an annual basis.
