Fees and Financial Support

Fees
Resident fees for the 2003-04 academic year were assessed at $2,106.50 per quarter. Non-resident students pay an additional non-resident tuition fee of $4,082.00 per quarter.

International students
The total estimated amount of money needed for living and educational expenses for 2004-05 academic year at UCLA is 1) US $18,000.00 for tuition and fees for three quarters, and 2) US $18,000.00 for basic living costs (food, rent, laundry, local transportation, books and supplies, etc.) for a total of $36,000.00. Please note, these figures are subject to change without notice. International students are therefore encouraged to seek support within their country of origin.

Financial Support
Applicants must complete and submit the UCLA fellowship application (part of the UCLA graduate application online at http://www.gdnet.ucla.edu and also part of the hard-copy application packet) to be considered for University and/or departmental support. Read and follow the directions for each fellowship. If you are applying online, this information will be forwarded to the Women's Studies Program automatically. If you are applying by mail, return this completed application with the required supporting documents for admission directly to the Women's Studies Program in the white envelope.

The Women's Studies Program has a very limited number of fellowships to grant. Special MA fellowships are available and provide on average $10,000 support plus fees. Ph.D. fellowships provide annually approximately $12,000-$14,000 support and (in most cases) fee remission. Some graduate assistantships and teaching assistantships are also available.  For more information on available graduate student awards, please visit the CSW Awards page.

Financial Aid
Questions regarding student loans and other forms of financial aid should be addressed to the Financial Aid office (http://www.saonet.ucla.edu/money.htm).

Student Housing
UCLA Housing homepage: http://www.housing.ucla.edu/
We are aware that finding housing for students and faculty is one of the
most important challenges at UCLA. Locating an apartment on the Westside can be a difficult process for persons coming to the campus for the first time. It is especially problematic for graduate student families, new faculty, and for international students.
