Stipends & Fellowships

Stipends and Fellowships are available for qualified graduate students from a variety of sources, both federal and local. The Department of Biology awards Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) to qualified students, providing an initial annual stipend of $18,000 (M.S.) or $23,000 (Ph.D.; $25,000 for candidates) as well as student health insurance and tuition remuneration. GTAs are awarded competitively each year. There are additional opportunities for students to teach for experience and pay.
