PEP Graduate Student Funding
» Funding

The PEP division anticipates being able to admit and fund 1 to 4 students per academic year on a competitive basis.  Students can be funded as Teaching Assistants (TAs) or Research Assistants (RAs) depending the experiences of the candidate and availability of funds.  Students are typically compensated at $18,500 / year and tuition waivers are typically provided to students offered funding.  Students who apply for admission will automatically be considered for funding.  If a student has other support for their educational expenses and can document that support in the case of foreign applicants, they can request admissions without funding.   In addition to Internal funding as an RA or TA, applicants are encouraged to compete for extramural grants to fund or supplement their educational expenses.  We have identified selected grant programs that offer support for students studying in this field.

Mechanisms of Student Funding:

• Internal Funding
