What kind of stipends do doctoral students receive?
Accepted doctoral students are hired as Instructional Assistants (also called RAs – Research Assistants) for 20 hours a week for four years and receive competitive year-round stipends of $33,000, approximately. This includes a $2,100 per month stipend (on a 12-month basis), a university fellowship during the first two years ($3600), and teaching compensation thereafter ($3,000 per course). All these amounts are on a pre-tax basis. Students receive a tuition waiver for four years (less student-paid fees).
