titleFAQs

  1. Question: What if my faculty co-advisors are from the same discipline but have distinct and different areas of focus?

    1. Answer: Both advisers may be in the same school at UC San Diego, but should be in different programs, departments, or areas. The most competitive nominees will be those who can clearly show disciplinary diversity across their faculty advisors and articulate how their research is interdisciplinary in nature.

  2. Question: What if my faculty co-advisors are from the same discipline but one is at a different institution?

    1. Answer: Because this is an interdisciplinary fellowship, the most important factor is disciplinary diversity, so as long as your co-advisor at another institution is part of a different department/program/discipline, then you would be eligible to apply for the award. For example, if your UC San Diego advisor is in Physics, your co-advisor at another institution should not also be in Physics.

  3. Question: I am a first-year graduate student in Fall 2024, am I eligible to apply?

    1. Answer: Yes, please discuss your interest with your departmental graduate coordinator.

  4. Question: I am an international student, am I eligible to apply?

    1. Answer: Yes, domestic and international students are eligible to apply.
