Students admitted to the Biostatistics PhD program receive a financial assistance package that includes a stipend and tuition.

More information regarding assistantships can be found on the Penn State Graduate School website.

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.

Medical insurance is required for all students, with the University paying 80 percent of the cost of medical, dental and vision coverage. See details about student health insurance.
