What Financial Support does Bioengineering offer to students?
The Department only offers financial support to Ph.D. students. Financial support is available in the form of fellowships, traineeships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships. Awarding of financial support is competitive, and stipends average $25,000.00 for the academic year, plus tuition and fees (tuition covered for the first year only). Sources of funding include University fellowships and traineeships from a National Institutes of Health (NIH) training grant and the Whitaker Foundation Development Award. The Department does not offer financial support to students at the M.S./M.Eng. level. Funds for support of international students are extremely limited, and the selection process is highly competitive. For more information on financial support please refer to the Bioengineering Graduate Student Handbook in the Student Information Section of our website.
