Graduate Assistantships, Scholarships, Fellowships, and Grants
Ph.D. Graduate Assistantships: The Department of Epidemiology offers graduate assistantships to all doctoral students upon acceptance, unless the student has received a fellowship, scholarship, or other external funding source.
Our greatest limiting factor in Ph.D. admissions is matching an applicant to a suitable mentor with sufficient funding. While we do not accept self-paying students, we do accept students who bring their own funding via external scholarships, fellowships, or grants. We maintain a list of some available funding sources for graduate students; this is not an exhaustive list, and we encourage all applicants to think creatively when applying for external funding
