Admission Requirements for Fall 2008
Financial Aid, Fellowships, and Student EmploymentBerkeley's Graduate School of Education has a strong fellowship program, with numerous avenues for applying for financial support. Generally about 60% of the applicants admitted to the GSE , who requested fellowship consideration, receive an award offer. Some fees are waived for students in the Principal Leadership Institute.
Applicants who applied for financial aid receive an offer of financial aid from the Graduate Financial Aid Office at U.C. Berkeley.
For more fellowship and financial aid information, please go to the U.C. Berkeley Graduate Division web site:
http://www.grad.berkeley.eduThe deadline to apply for fellowships is December 3, 2007, if you are not currently a student in the School of Education.
Fellowships may provide a stipend, and/or fees and tuition, to support the living and educational expenses of graduate study. If you apply for this merit-based assistance, your application will be judged competitively on the basis of the quality of your previous academic work, on the evidence of your ability to do research and other accomplishments, and on your promise of becoming a productive scholar. Credential program applicants will be evaluated based on their potential to be successful educators in California schools.
You may also want to apply for need-based financial aid, which requires a separate application. Follow the instructions in "How to Apply for Student Loans and Other Federal Student Aid" in the Graduate Application for Admissions and Fellowships.
How to Apply for FellowshipsApplications for fellowships are considered only once a year. Applicants must complete the Fellowships section of the Graduate Division Application (either the 'Domestic Students' or 'International Students' page) and check the appropriate box(es) on the first page of the Graduate School of Education Application for Admission. All application materials, including GRE scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendation, are due by the application deadline for your program. Fellowship applicants need to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) in time for the School of Education to receive their official scores by the application deadline, if that exam is required by the program you are applying to.
Both multi-year and single-year fellowships are awarded through this fellowship program. Multi-year fellowships are awarded through a campuswide competition. Fellowship applications are first reviewed by the School of Education, which makes recommendations to the campus's Committee on Fellowships and Graduate Scholarships. In addition, the School of Education nominates applicants for single-year awards from block grant and various departmentally restricted fellowship sources.
Continuing Students and Applicants for Readmission should contact the Fellowships Assistant in January at 643-1720 for a continuing student fellowship application and information. This includes current UC Berkeley graduate students who are applying for a change of degree goal and/or major.
Student Employment
Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) and Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) positions are available to graduate students in the School of Education. Applicants who have been admitted to a graduate program in the School of Education should contact their faculty adviser to inquire about the possibility of employment. In addition to a stipend, students who work at least 45 percent time as a GSR receive full (resident) fee remission and nonresident tuition (where applicable). GSIs receive partial fee remission if working at least 25 percent time. There are some restrictions on the amount of time a student can work, especially if the student is receiving a fellowship.
For additional information on fellowships, please refer to the Graduate Application for Admissions and Fellowships.
