Continuing Student Fellowships

  • Rowland Graduate Research Fellowship

    • The Rowland Endowed Chair and Fellowship Fund is a longstanding Department of Chemistry initiative which aligns Professor Rowland’s efforts to create a fellowship for students, with his friends and colleagues desire to honor his legacy. This is a three-quarter award; the application window is Summer.

  • Wolfsberg Graduate Research Fellowship

    • The Wolfsberg Fellowship in Theoretical Chemistry supports a student in the area of theoretical chemistry and is in honor of a beloved former member of our faculty, Max Wolfsberg. This fellowship was made possible by a generous contribution from Marilyn Wolfsberg to establish the Max Wolfsberg Endowed Fund in Theoretical Chemistry. This is a one-quarter award; the application window is Summer.

  • Chemistry Graduate Dissertation Fellowship

    • The Chemistry Graduate Dissertation Fellowship is awarded to eligible students for their final quarter, to allow them to devote themselves to the completion of an outstanding doctoral dissertation. Student are encouraged to apply for the Graduate Dean's Dissertation Fellowship. This is a one-quarter award; the application window is Summer.

  • Graduate Division Fellowships

    • Administered by the UC Irvine Graduate Division, and includes a variety of support options, such as merit-based, need-based, year-long, and quarterly awards. Application windows vary based on fellowship so review the Funding Timeline for more details.

Facility Fellowships

  • X-ray Crystallography Facility Fellowship

    • The X-ray Crystallography Facility Fellowship facilitates the collection and analysis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data while providing an excellent training opportunity for graduate students to gain advanced levels of experience in solving small-molecule crystal structures.

  • Laser Spectroscopy Laboratories Fellowship

    • The Laser Spectroscopy Labs (LSL) Graduate Fellow will be directly involved with building the new Ultrafast Lab 2 within LSL, putting together and spearheading multiple nonlinear optical experiments and projects, including triple-color ultrafast electronic and vibrational spectroscopies, both in the time domain and in the spectral domain. 

  • NMR Facility Fellowship

    • The purpose of the NMR Facility Fellowship is to facilitate the collection and analysis of NMR data while providing an excellent training opportunity for graduate students to gain advanced levels of experience in performing NMR experiments and analyzing the resulting data.

  • Mass Spectrometry Facility Fellowship

    • The Mass Spectrometry Facility Fellowship provides a training opportunity for the student fellow to learn in depth skills for acquisition and analysis of mass spectrometry data, as well as core skills for instrument maintenance. The emphasis of the fellowship is on small molecule analyses, including molecular formula validation, analyte identifications and quantitation by LC and GC-MS. 

Recruitment Fellowships

  • Graduate Division Fellowships

    • Administered by the UC Irvine Graduate Division. Graduate programs nominate their top newly admitted students for these additional funds to help increase yield. These fellowships include multi-year diversity fellowships as well as top-off awards to department financial offers.

  • Overman Fellowship

    • The Overman Fellowship was endowed by Professor Larry Overman to attract and support students with a passion for synthetic organic chemistry. It is a top-off award in addition to nominated admitted students' department financial offer.
