MIDS Need-Based Fellowship
The School of Information Need-Based Fellowship for MIDS & MICS students provides financial assistance to students with significant financial need for whom additional funding would make a meaningful difference to their ability to enroll in the program. The fellowship prioritizes students who have limited or no external sources of support to pursue their studies.
If granted, the Need-Based Fellowship would provide support to offset a portion (not all) of a student’s tuition and fees for the MIDS & MICS programs, with exclusions.
Fellowships can only be applied toward tuition and fees assessed in CalCentral.
Fees that can be covered include:
- Tuition
- Berkeley Campus Fee
Fees that cannot be covered include:
- UC Graduate and Professional Council (UCGPC) Fee
- University Health Services service fees
- Late payment fees
Any unspent fellowship aid will be returned to the funding source. For example, if your tuition and fees are covered by an outside source (e.g., company sponsorship, GI Bill, etc.), unspent grant aid will return to the funding source and will not pay out as a stipend. If your tuition is covered by federal aid, this fellowship will replace (rather than supplement) a portion of that aid.
