Financial Aid

All admitted students are guaranteed funding (typically in the form of a teaching assistantship) for a maximum of 5 years (10 regular-term fall/spring semesters and 4 full summers) as long as they are making good progress towards their degree as determined by the committees in their annual meetings. Exceptionally qualified candidates may be nominated for additional fellowships from the Graduate School.  These include the Elite Scholars Program and Recruiting Fellowships for Academic Excellence and Excellence in Inclusivity.
