Graduate Student Funding

All of the graduate programs offer full tuition and a benefits package that include books, a yearly stipend and a large portion of your health care costs. But in order to establish yourself as an independent investigator you should try to get a portion or all of your own funding for the majority of your graduate work. There are a number of NIH T32 training grants and fellowships that you can apply for. Not only will the Director of Graduate Studies in your program be able to guide you but the Graduate School also has resources to aid you in the search to finance your graduate education. Start here
