Maximum Limit of Merit-Based Support
Tentative subject to final UCOP guidance and/or subject to change at any time.
(Exclusive of full tuition/non-resident supplemental tuition support)
The Graduate Council has established a policy of Maximum Limit on the total amount of support a graduate student may receive. It includes special fellowships, financial support, and ASE/GSR earnings. The maximum limit will vary for each student (e.g., spouse, number of dependents, professional school enrollment, tuition support, summer enrollment, and whether the student lives on/off campus or with parents/guardians). The maximum limit listed below represents the maximum financial support and/or ASE/GSR earnings that a single student with no dependents (living off campus) may receive exclusive of tuition/non-resident supplemental tuition support.

Supplementation of Extramural Awards |
If the extramural award exceeds the maximum, the student is entitled to the full amount of the award, but may not receive financial support supplementation from the University or be employed under an ASE/GSR title (unless supplementation is required by the extramural agency, e.g., NIH/NRSA). If the award is less than the maximum, the award may be supplemented with University funds and/or ASE/GSR employment up to the maximum if permitted by the terms of the extramural award. A recipient should refer to their extramural award letter to determine if employment or financial support supplementation is permitted. Recipients of DGE administered extramural awards (e.g., NSF GRFP, HHMI Gilliam Fellow, Ford) should consult the Division of Graduate Education Fellowships Services Office in 1228 Murphy Hall or email askgrad@grad.ucla.edu. |
