Funding and Support

Student Stipends

If you are accepted into the program, you can apply for a stipend of $21,500 per year, plus tuition expenses and college-provided health insurance. Students will remain eligible for stipends and health insurance for as long as they maintain good academic standing
(that is, passing all classes and comprehensive exams). Students accepting these stipends will be expected to teach one course per semester in their third and fourth years. 

Students will not ordinarily be allowed to work (other than teaching) during the academic year in which they receive a stipend.

Student Scholarship

All students accepted onto the program will receive a scholarship which will cover their tuition fees for each academic year provided they remain in good academic standing. Students on a stipend can assume a research position on campus or engage in other forms of employment but must obtain permission from their academic adviser.

Other Financial Aid

Students may be eligible for need-based aid. Please see the graduate student web page for more information.
