Funding
The department guarantees 15 terms of funding as Graduate Employees (GEs) for all students who remain in good standing in the program. GE awards carry a tuition waiver, stipend, and insurance benefits. This funding must be taken within 7 years from initial enrollment.
Students should be prepared to rely on their own financial resources for some portion of their residence in the department, and are encouraged to apply for outside support from public or private agencies. Loan funds and work study monies are not administered by the department. Separate application for this should be made directly to:
