Provide a Lifeline in a Moment of Crisis
Our graduate students are the engine of discovery on this campus, but their journey can be precarious. An unexpected challenge, like the cancellation of a federal grant, can throw a student into a financial freefall, forcing them to choose between paying rent and continuing their world-changing research. The Graduate Student Emergency Response Fund provides a vital lifeline in these moments, offering rapid-response grants to ensure a temporary funding gap does not become a permanent lost opportunity. Your support can provide the stability a student needs to stay on track and complete their degree.
Create Fellowships
Fellowships, essentially scholarships for graduate students, provide core financial aid as they help pay tuition, fees, and health insurance for our graduate students. They strengthen UCSB's ability to compete with other institutions in recruiting top students.
