Tuition and Financial Aid

To review the current year estimated cost of attendance, please go to the Financial Aid web site for complete details on student budgets:

Additionally, the Graduate Division has various resources.  Please review the links provided under the heading “Financing a Berkeley Education.” The Guide to Financial Support for Graduate Students, which you’ll find in the first link under the heading “Financing a Berkeley Education” is especially important and relevant to anyone investigating how to fund their graduate education at Berkeley.  This guide will fully detail all funding options. 

Also of particular importance is information on becoming a Graduate Student Instructor, Researcher or Reader, since these academic jobs often provide a generous tuition and fee remissions benefit. The Graduate Division has information on Teaching and Research Opportunities; also see our GSI/GSR page.
