UC Berkeley Graduate Advisors and Deans are invited to nominate accepted Ph.D. students for a one-year Gateway Fellowship for the 2024-25 academic year beginning in January.
Candidates are evaluated based on "best match" to each particular Gateway Fellowship by a review committee. Priority is given to high achieving new incoming Ph.D.-seeking graduate students with financial need. Department nominators will be notified when their candidate is selected.
Ph.D. students from Norway, Egypt, Saudi Arabia or GULF Cooperative states (Chemistry, Earth Science, Mechanical Engineering or Geology), and US students who are returned Peace Corps Volunteers are especially sought.
Gateway Fellowship nominations are accepted beginning in January annually. The priority deadline to nominate a candidate is March 1, however late nominations with "best match" will be considered on a rolling basis until all Gateway Fellowships have been awarded. For questions, please email financialaid@ihouseberkeley.org.
