[Biomed_grad_faculty] Graduate Division DCFA

[Sika Zheng]

Dear BMSC faculty,

Students received the Graduate Division email for the Dissertation completion fellowship award (DCFA) fellowship. Hopefully interested students have a discussion with you already.
DCFA is specifically for students who are going to graduate by the end of Spring quarter 2026. If you believe your BMSC students will meet this timeline, please encourage them to apply (by Oct 15). Please note that

  1.
Failure to graduate by Spring 2026 will affect the Graduate Program’s ability to nominate future students.
  2.
DCFA recipients are not eligible for employment after the fellowship period ends.
  3.
The Dissertation Advisor must acknowledge the student’s thesis timeline and confirm the plan to graduate within the award period.

Best, Sika
