GFS Entry Information
Below are resources for departments whose students have VPGE-administered fellowships or for those who have a VPGE-administered fellowship and a nationally competitive fellowship. Nationally competitive fellowships listed are multi-year and portable (e.g., NSF, NDSEG, Hertz Foundation). Additional information about nationally competitive fellowships and GFS entry tables for students with only a nationally competitive fellowship, are available on the financial aid website.
VPGE-Administered Fellowships:
- Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE)
- Diversifying Academia, Recruiting Excellence (DARE)
- Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education Fellowship (EDGE)
- Gerald J. Lieberman
- Shoucheng Zhang Graduate Fellowship
- Stanford Graduate Fellowship (SGF)
- Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (SIGF)
Tables provide amounts paid by external awards, funds from VPGE, degree program, school, or central sources and who is responsible for those entries in the PeopleSoft Graduate Financial Systems (GFS).

Supplemental Teaching or Research Appointments - Who pays tuition?
The order of use of tuition funds is dependent upon whether the supplemental appointment is for a teaching or a research appointment. It is also dependent upon whether the recipient has a VPGE-administered fellowship, a dual award (VPGE and nationally competitive fellowship), or a nationally competitive fellowship.
The chart below determines the order of funds used to support tuition based on those variables.
University policy allows students supported by a full fellowship to hold a supplemental teaching appointment (e.g. TA, CA) or research appointment (RA) up to 25%. In summer only, recipients may add up to a 50% summer RA salary to the fellowship. All VPGE-administered fellowships are full fellowships, except the EDGE fellowship, which is a supplementary fellowship. Assistantship appointments must also comply with applicable school, local and funding source policies.
