Neuroscience PhD Tuition and Financial Support
Neuroscience PhD Tuition & Financial Support
Students admitted to the Neuroscience PhD program receive a financial assistance package that includes a stipend and tuition. For the 2024-25 academic year, the stipend is $34,539.
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 four semesters (Fall/Spring/Summer/Fall). 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.
Non-Tuition Costs
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.
