Teaching and Research Assistantships

Teaching Assistant and Graduate Student Researcher appointments are among the most important funding sources for international graduate students at UCLA. Eligible graduate students appointed as teaching assistants, graduate student researchers, tutors, readers, or similar academic employees for at least 25% time during an academic quarter can receive:

Salary

100% of eligible student services fees

100% of eligible tuition charges

Medical insurance coverage

Qualified Graduate Student Researchers with appointments of at least 45% may also receive nonresident tuition remission, which is particularly valuable for international students.

The amount of salary depends on

Appointment percentage

Academic title

Experience

Programme

Collective bargaining agreement

Assistantships are not automatically guaranteed across every UCLA graduate programme.

UCLA PhD Funding

PhD funding at UCLA is administered mainly through individual academic departments rather than through one university-wide scholarship.

Funding packages can combine

Departmental fellowships

Teaching Assistantships

Graduate Student Researcher appointments

Faculty research grants

Graduate Division fellowships

Tuition and fee remission

Nonresident tuition support

Health insurance

UCLA encourages prospective students to review departmental funding arrangements because the amount and duration of support vary between programmes. Some UCLA PhD programmes provide particularly comprehensive support. For example, the UCLA Computer Science Department states that all international PhD applicants who are offered admission receive financial support that meets the anticipated cost of attendance. Applicants are automatically considered for departmental funding based on academic merit and research potential.

The funding may come from

Department resources

Faculty research grants

Fellowships

Teaching appointments

Research appointments

The specific funding package is provided with or shortly after the PhD admission offer. This does not mean that every UCLA PhD programme guarantees the same level or duration of funding. Applicants should check their own department carefully before accepting an offer. UCLA also provides eligible doctoral students with up to US$1,000 in reimbursement for approved conference travel, off-campus research, or professional development during their doctoral programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does UCLA offer scholarships to international students?

Yes, but the opportunities differ by study level. International undergraduate students are not eligible for UCLA’s regular university financial aid programme. However, admitted and enrolled international students can apply for selected departmental, donor-funded, and school-level scholarships. International graduate students can receive merit-based fellowships, teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and departmental funding.

Are UCLA Scholarships fully funded?

There is no general fully funded UCLA scholarship for every international student. Some PhD programmes provide comprehensive financial packages. For example, UCLA Computer Science states that international PhD students offered admission receive funding that meets the anticipated cost of attendance. Undergraduate departmental scholarships generally vary in amount and should not be treated as guaranteed full funding.

Does UCLA give financial aid to international undergraduate students?

UCLA states that international undergraduates who are not US citizens or permanent residents are not eligible for its regular university financial aid programme. They may still apply for selected departmental and donor-funded scholarships after admission.

Can international students apply for UCLA Samueli Scholarships?

Yes. UCLA Samueli explicitly states that selected scholarships are available to international, newly admitted, transfer, and continuing engineering students.

How many scholarships does UCLA Samueli offer?

The Samueli School of Engineering administers more than 100 undergraduate scholarships annually. One scholarship application is used to match students with multiple eligible awards.

Are UCLA PhD programmes fully funded?

Funding varies by department. Many PhD students receive combinations of fellowships, teaching appointments, research appointments, tuition remission, and health benefits. Some departments provide comprehensive funding to all admitted PhD students, but UCLA does not publish one universal funding guarantee for every doctoral programme.

Do I need a separate application for UCLA PhD funding?

Usually, the graduate admission application is also used to assess applicants for departmental and Graduate Division funding. Individual departments may have additional procedures, so applicants should check their programme’s funding page.

Can international master’s students receive UCLA scholarships?

Yes, selected international master’s students may receive merit-based fellowships, departmental awards, or assistantships, but funding is limited and is not guaranteed. Some professional or self-supporting master’s programmes have different funding arrangements.

Is SAT or ACT required for UCLA?

No. UCLA does not consider SAT or ACT scores for admission or scholarship purposes.

Is IELTS compulsory for UCLA?

Not always. International applicants may be exempt depending on their previous education. Students who need to demonstrate English proficiency can submit an accepted TOEFL, IELTS, or, for undergraduate admission, Duolingo English Test result.

What is the UCLA graduate application fee for international students?

The current graduate application fee for applicants who are not US citizens or permanent residents is US$155.
