FINANCIAL SUPPORT
*For a list of current resident and non-resident fees and tuition, click here*
To support graduate studies, UCLA offers several kinds of financial assistance, including fellowships, assistantships, loans, and workstudy employment. Merit-based financial support is available in the form of fellowships and teaching assistantships. Fellowships, scholarships, and stipends, which range from partial fees to full fees and nonresident tuition, are awarded primarily to incoming students; assistantships are awarded annually to selected continuing students who apply. Additionally, Gluck Fellowships and Music Partnership assistantships are available to all students through an application and selection process at the beginning of fall quarter.
Entering students apply for fellowships in conjunction with their admission application. Nominations for campus-wide awards as well as departmental support are made by faculty and forwarded to the necessary faculty committees for decision. Merit based departmental scholarships are determined by the audition for performance and the portfolio for composition.
Factors considered include creative work, academic strength, and, in some cases, financial need. Effort is made to distribute the available resources among all principal areas of study in the department. Continuing students must apply annually for fellowships and assistantships.
Need-based assistance is available to those who qualify. The Financial Aid Office calculates need based on the student’s financial resources. For graduate students, need-based financial aid is awarded only in the form of loans and work-study. International students are not eligible to apply for need-based financial aid.
