The Helen Diller Family Scholarships & Fellowships for Students from Israel

The Helen Diller Family Scholarship for Incoming Students:
This program supports new graduate students from Israel who have been 
admitted to U.C. Berkeley. Nominations will be solicited from relevant 
departments and professional schools of incoming graduate students from 
Israel who have been accepted into Ph.D. programs in the humanities, 
social sciences or professional schools. Individuals may not apply. The 
scholarship will cover tuition, fees, and a stipend of around $18,000 
for the recipient’s first year at U.C. Berkeley. This one-year grant is 
conditional upon the department offering the student a fellowship and/or 
teaching package in years two and three. It is expected that year four 
will be funded by a Dissertation Completion Fellowship (DCF) offered by 
Graduate Division. Nominations must include nominee’s complete 
application for admission to UC Berkeley and a letter of nomination from 
the chair of the departmental admissions committee. Nominations from 
departments accompanied by a department commitment are due on February 
4, 2013.
