Funding for graduate programs can come from a variety of sources, including but not limited to:
• Departmental (partial awards on a yearly basis for returning students)
• Doctoral training grant stipend/tuition awards (NIH funding through department)
• Non-institutional awards (selective private/partial awards specific criteria for eligibility)
• Loans and grants through Student Financial Services
• Loans/scholarships that may be available from the student’s home country or state
While the department makes every effort to secure as many funding opportunities for new
and returning students, there is no guarantee that every student will receiving funding. Students
are encouraged to seek out as many different sources of funding as early as possible.
