The Department
of Biostatistics provides funding to well qualified students pursuing the
doctoral degree, and, in some circumstances, the Master's degree. All students
accepted to our programs will be automatically considered for Departmental
funding. Much of the funding available is through five biostatistics training
grants in AIDS, cancer, the environment, mental health, and public health
training for underrepresented minorities. These traineeships require U.S.
citizenship or permanent residency and are often supplemented by a Teaching
Assistantship. Funding for international students is more limited, and may
include a Research Assistantship or university fellowship. Typically, the
Department is able to provide full tuition and fees and a competitive living
stipend to funded students.
To allow consideration for University-wide scholarships, fellowships, and student loans, applicants are expected to apply for Harvard financial aid (through GSAS for doctoral applicants and through HSPH for Master's applicants). International applicants are encouraged to seek financial support from their national governments and fellowship agencies. Student funding sources may change over time, and the Department may require a student to apply for other fellowship and grant resources that the student may be eligible for.
