Caltech Fellowships

The Institute offers a number of endowed fellowships to graduate students of exceptional ability who wish to pursue advanced study and research. Most of these fellowships are one-year awards that cover the first year of graduate study. Caltech does, however, have several multi-year fellowships, funded by a generous gift from Betty and Gordon Moore. In order to provide students with valuable teaching experience, the Moore Fellowship provides for its recipients to serve as a teaching assistant for three terms during the tenure of the award.

Caltech also offers several other fellowships funded by generous donations from: Benjamin M. Rosen, Virginia Gilloon, William H. Pickering, Albert and Marguerite Ramond, and Henry and Grazyna A. Bauer.

Outside Fellowships

Caltech encourages applicants to seek financial support from outside sources. Attempts to do so will be viewed favorably by the graduate option admission committees. Some of the most common fellowships/scholarships available to U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents are listed here. These fellowships and grants require direct application to the granting agency. For additional information concerning fellowship opportunities, please consult the Fellowships Advising & Study Abroad Office.
