Pursuing a graduate education is a tremendous undertaking. To help make it possible for you, we provide as much funding as we can to our graduate students.
Full-time Ph.D. students are eligible for a variety of university and department support packages. You may receive stipends through teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowships. Students with fellowships and assistantships are also eligible for health insurance.
If you intend to work full time toward a Ph.D. and supply application materials by February 1, you will be considered for fellowships.
These fellowships generally provide a stipend of $16,000 to $22,000 or more for twelve months plus health insurance (medical and dental) and tuition coverage with all fees remitted except for approximately $600 per semester.
These fellowships have tenures ranging from one to two years, after which you will be supported with a departmental teaching assistantship or research assistantship up to a total of six years, provided satisfactory academic progress towards the Ph.D. is made.
If you intend to work full time toward the Ph.D. and supply your application materials by March 1, you will be considered for graduate assistantships. Graduate assistantships include health insurance (medical and dental) and tuition coverage for all remittable fees.
