Graduate research assistantships (GRAs), fellowships, and teaching assistantships (TAs) are available for students in the Ph.D Program (and sometimes to students in the M.S. Program).

U.S. citizens admitted to the Ph.D. Program will receive a minimum stipend of $23,000.  Contingent upon successful progress toward a Ph.D., students can expect continued GRA support in future academic years.

Top candidates to our program will also be nominated for substantial supplementary fellowships. Students will be notified of these additional awards if they are selected.
