Effective FY23, each department will receive an annual fixed allocation of diversity incentive money that they may use as part of their overall strategy to achieve the university’s goals of recruiting, retaining, and graduating an increasingly more diverse graduate student cohort. For FY 22/23, this amount shall be up to $30,000. Departments that offer both the PhD and MFA shall receive one $30K allocation.
For FY24, departments should expect to receive up to $30k, based on actual, eligible expenditures.
For FY25, departments should expect to receive a similar allocation as was done in FY23up to $30k, based on actual, eligible expenditures.

| title | Q: Are JDP programs eligible for the Diversity Incentive Program funding? |
|---|
| As most Joint Doctoral Program students’ (JDP) tuition and fees are not paid at, and based at UC San Diego, JDP programs are not eligible for UC San Diego’s Diversity Incentive funding. The single exception to this is the JDP - Clinical Psychology, which is a UCSD-based JDP program and therefore eligible for the Diversity Incentive funding. |
