What financial support does Brown offer its graduate students in the Ph.D. program in History?
The University offers a five-year support package to all incoming students, conditional upon satisfactory progress through the graduate program. First-year students receive fellowship support, which includes full tuition, health insurance, the health services fee, and a stipend. In their second and third years, graduate students are supported primarily by teaching assistantships, which include full tuition, health insurance, the health services fee, and a stipend. All students are encouraged to apply for outside fellowship support as they move into the dissertation phase of the program as part of the professionalization process that helps to sharpen their thinking about their upcoming projects; the university will continue to support those who are not successful in winning such fellowships with a combination of research/dissertation fellowships and T.A. support provided they remain in good standing and are making good progress toward the Ph.D.
