Apply by the Priority Deadline to Qualify for Fellowships
Prospective Student Fellowship Deadlines
Graduate Studies administers approximately $6.6 million dollars in internal fellowships annually. The only way to be considered for these fellowships is to apply by your program's priority deadline.
Priority vs. General Deadlines
- Priority Deadline will receive priority review for admission. You must apply by the priority deadline to be considered for internal fellowships.
- General Deadline will be reviewed by the graduate program but not on a priority basis.
- Space Available Deadline will only be reviewed if the graduate program determines that they have additional space available after reviewing priority and general deadline applications.
All letters of recommendation must be received no later than three business days following these deadlines. Applications close after 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the day of the deadline.
GRE Test Requirements
For Fall 2022 admissions, the GRE is not required or accepted for the majority of our programs. International students may be required to complete additional testing. View the international students page for more details.
