Stipends

All students in good academic standing are initially provided with financial support in the form of teaching assistantships, research assistantships or fellowships. Incoming students are provided teaching assistantships ($6500 per semester) during the academic year and are expected to join research groups that provide research assistantships during the summer. It is anticipated that all incoming graduate students who successfully secure a research assistantship or summer support will receive at least $19,000 per year. Beyond the first year, students are typically supported by research assistantships from faculty research grants. The level of support for research assistantships is dependent on each individual group.
