Fellowships & Teaching
Continuing Student Support Request
and Progress Form
This form is to be used by graduate students in the Italian Studies Program
or RLL with Italian Emphasis. It is required from all continuing students
each February.
Ph.D. Progress Report
This form is required from all graduate students who have Advanced to Candidacy.
It is also on a February return cycle.
Outside Students' Application
This form is for graduate students from departments other than Italian Studies
who wish to request funding support from, or to teach within, the Italian
Studies Department. (Also due in February.)
Support packages typically include a combination of fellowships and teaching.
In addition to multi-year fellowships awarded upon admission, a number of
internal fellowships are also available. These include the Dean's Normative
Time Fellowship (for students who entered the program before Fall 2010),
and the Doctoral Completion Fellowship, newly instituted in Fall 2010; both
are dissertation year fellowships awarded to students who have passed the
Qualifying Examination within eight semesters of their enrollment at Berkeley.
It is important to plan your course of study carefully in order to take
advantage of these valuable opportunities. Please visit the Graduate
Division website for more information. Students who accept the DCF are
required to participate in a set of Departmental
DCF Activities designed to encourage timely completion of the Ph.D.
degree.
Teaching is an essential part of graduate training, and a teaching portfolio
is increasingly required as part of applications for academic positions.
The GSI Teaching and Resource Center
is a valuable source of information and support. We are committed
to training students in the most recent methods of language pedagogy and,
to the extent possible, to providing them with diverse teaching opportunities.
Requests are filed in February of each year, using the downloadable form.
There are opportunities for teaching during the summer as well as during
the regular academic year.
