Is there support for doctoral students?
Full-time students admitted to the Ph.D. program are usually awarded fellowships that include a waiver of tuition, a stipend to help cover living expenses, and some health care benefits. The stipend is likely to vary but could be in an amount up to $16,000 annually. These stipends carry with them the expectation that the student will work 20 hours a week in either a research or teaching assistantship.
