According to http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~ravenben/ucsb/fellowships.html, “For this 1-year award, the Graduate Division provides a stipend, and payment of fees and health insurance for all awardees. Nonresident tuition is not included in the award package. Departments may supplement with a TA appointment up to an average of 35% time over the course of the academic year (with included benefits of appointment), or a GSR appointment up to an average of 35% time over the course of the academic year (with included benefits of appointment). New and continuing domestic doctoral (or M.F.A.) students are eligible for nomination for this diversity fellowship. Students may receive the fellowship twice during their academic careers but must be re-nominated, as it is not an automatically renewable award.”
