FINANCIAL SUPPORT

All students admitted to our graduate program receive paid tuition and an assistantship for the first year, which allows students to complete core requirements and participate in laboratory rotations. Financial support for students in subsequent years comes from training grants, research grants secured by the major professor, or research and/or teaching assistantships. Given solid academic standing and lab performance, the level of support in subsequent years will meet or exceed the level of support provided in the students first year.
