Several University of California, San Diego graduate students will receive full financial support over the next few years thanks to an additional $500,000 gift from the Robertson Foundation for Government. This most recent gift is an extension of the foundation’s initial commitment of $450,000, which was pledged in 2010 and created the Robertson Fellows Program at UC San Diego’s School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS). Each gift is pledged over four years and covers expenses for outstanding students to complete their master’s degree at IR/PS. As a requirement of the Robertson Fellows Program, students commit to working for the federal government for at least three of the first five years after graduation.
