Research Fellowships

The Presley Center is proud to support UCR graduate students whose empirical or theoretical research improves our understanding of criminal justice policy and practice in California. Presley Center Fellows receive a living stipend and remission of their tuition and fees for one quarter, so they are able to fully dedicate their time to their research. This fellowship is available to PhD students in all majors and the call for proposals is typically issued in January, with decisions made in early Spring.
