Fellowship Request Form

Deadlines

Submission Guidelines

This form must be completed by a UC Merced faculty member or budget approver (RA). Submissions from non-UC Merced personnel may be delayed or canceled.

Timely submission is crucial, as SSHA requires sufficient time to review graduate student eligibility and coordinate with financial offices to process fellowship awards. Late submissions may result in delayed disbursements and may not be reflected in the current fiscal year.

Required Fellowship Information

• Graduate student name
• Type of fellowship (ex: Standard, Professional Development, Tuition & Fees Only)
• Outcome of award
• Fellowship term for disbursement
• Fellowship award amount
• Chart of Accounts (COA)
• Disbursement schedule (if applicable)
• Faculty PI
• Budget approver

Important Reminders

• Summer awards are disbursed after the spring semester, typically by the second week of June. For more information, visit the Graduate Division’s Summer Awards and Refund Process.
• Awards submitted after a term’s final deadline must include an exception request for review by the Graduate Dean.
• Requests submitted after the summer deadline will be delayed, will not be reflected in the current fiscal year, and will be charged to the next fiscal year.
• If you need to request funding or a cost-share commitment from Graduate Division, submit the Graduate Dean’s Funding Commitment Request form. Graduate Division staff will follow up after review.
