Financial Assistance

As a major center for graduate study, UCLA offers a percentage of its qualified graduate students substantial support through several types of financial assistance. Awards are based on either academic merit or financial need, but the two types are not mutually exclusive. Students interested in applying for financial assistance should read carefully the information contained in the School of Public Health Announcement. It cannot be emphasized enough the importance of carefully reading the publications provided and meeting the stated deadlines.

In addition to the information contained in the School of Public Health Announcement, the Department of Epidemiology has a limited number of special-purpose traineeships which provide fee and stipend support. These traineeships are available for doctoral students who are committed to doing research in cancer epidemiology.
