All Biology graduate students are fully supported either by educational fellowships, teaching assistantships, training grants, or research fellowships. Students earn a stipend ($25,600 for the 2008-20009 adademic year), health insurance, and tuition benefits. Funding is guaranteed for the first five years as long as a student remains in good academic standing and research is progressing at a satisfactory pace. A majority of Biology Graduate students do obtain funding beyond this point.
