The Graduate Fellowship program offers a unique opportunity for a select group of physics doctoral students to spend a minimum of 5 months (and up to 6 months) at KITP, participate in KITP research programs, and broaden their understanding of physics in areas of current research. KITP is committed to hosting a diverse group of scientists as graduate fellows, to be selected from nominations by program participants and graduate advisors worldwide.

There are two ways tobe considered for a KITP Graduate Fellowship: a candidate may apply directlyor be nominated. In either case, the candidate will provide KITP with a CV and a 500-word essay that answers the question: "How will working at KITP during the 5 months of this Graduate Fellow appointment advance my development as a physicist?" The candidate's adviser will provide a letter of recommendation. In the case of a nomination, the nomination letter serves as the letter of recommendation. The nominator should describe the student, explain why they are suitable for such a program, and notehow they may contribute to diversity at KITP. Please also acknowledge the minimum 5-month stay required in this program. Additional letters of support are not necessary.

Graduate Fellows remain paid employees of their home institutions, and are only provided KITP support in the form of reimbursement for local expenses (lodging and meals) up to a maximum of $2300/month. Some assistance with round-trip travel between the Fellow's home institution and KITP may also be provided.
