How many assistantships (financial aid) does the department offer?
In 2004-05 approximately 20 students hold partial or full assistantships. A fraction of those will become available next year to be awarded to new students, as the present holders graduate or otherwise relinquish their assistantships. New research assistantships may become available as additional grants are awarded to Drexel professors. Since many apply each year to the program, competition for these assistantships is keen.
