Biostatistics PhD Tuition and Financial Support
Biostatistics PhD Tuition and Financial Support
Students admitted to the Biostatistics PhD program receive a financial assistance package that includes a stipend and tuition. For the 2019-20 academic year, the stipend is $30,462.
A number of first-year supplemental awards and fellowships are also available on a competitive basis.
The program pays the stipend and tuition for the first 18 months. Subsequently, the adviser for the dissertation research is responsible for the stipend and tuition. To ensure that students will be able to complete their dissertation research in this laboratory, the departmental chair guarantees this support.
