Financial Aid
The Department makes every effort to fund every PhD candidate in the program and has met this commitment for the last 30 years. All PhD candidates receive a stipend, which is currently $30,000 per year and full tuition remission. An important aspect of student financial support is the funding of the student's research, which comes entirely from the research grant support of the candidate's advisor. We estimate the total value of support for a typical graduate student for a nominal four years in the PhD program to be between $174,000 and $215,000.
Master of Science candidates are not supported with a stipend or tuition remission.
