What are the terms of a CIIP Traineeship?
CIIP Trainees are supported for two years early in their Ph.D. program, beginning before comprehensive exams have been taken. Depending on the program, some trainees may take their comprehensive exams during the traineeship. The stipend is $30,000 per year (academic and summer) and tuition and some fees (up to 15 credits, see below) are covered by the grant. In the summer, only CIIP-required courses are covered.
