The UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in the Conservation of Archaeological and Ethnographic Materials is fortunate to have an endowed fund dedicated to student financial support. These fellowships will not generally be sufficient to cover all costs; however, they should make a substantial contribution to meeting student expenses. The amount of internal financial support for students will be decided on an individual basis by the Admissions Committee and students will be notified of fellowship support at the time they are accepted to the program. 

UCLA Fellowships

The University offers a few fellowships for students in M.A. programs.  The majority of fellowships are only available to Ph.D. students.  One fellowship that is available to M.A. students is the Graduate Opportunity Fellowship (GOF).  More information on GOF and other student support can be found through UCLA Graduate Division.
