We support all admitted PhD student with a Graduate Assistantship with a 12 month stipend of $26,780 plus a full tuition scholarship. The assistantship can either be a Teaching Assistantship (TA) or grant supported research (RA). Beginning graduate students are supported by a TA which carries a part-time duties such as working in undergraduate labs, or tutoring beginning undergraduates, or grading.
An outstanding PhD applicant might also be awarded a Special Departmental Fellowship to add to the stipend during their first year in our graduate program. Also, we often nominate academically excellent students with diverse backgrounds for the Graduate Dean Award.
Masters student generally are not supported by a Graduate Assistantship. If you would like to be considered for a Graduate Assistantship, you should apply directly to the PhD program (if that meets your goals).
