Funding
Nearly all of our graduate students are fully supported: full tuition, a generous stipend, and full health insurance. Support may be provided in one of several possible ways. In any given year, the majority of available positions come in the form of Teaching Assistantships. However, depending on availability, students may receive financial support from multiple sources during the course of their studies. The Department typically seeks to provide a maximum of 5 years of support for students that enter the PhD program. The actual amount of time a student is supported will never be less than the guaranteed period of support, assuming satisfactory progress towards the PhD degree.
Studyportals Tip: Students can search online for independent or external scholarships that can help fund their studies. Check the scholarships to see whether you are eligible to apply. Many scholarships are either merit-based or needs-based.
