Financial Support

There are some fellowships available, usually for the first year of study, but the predominant mode of financial support is a teaching assistantship, which includes a full tuition grant, as well as a stipend to cover living expenses. The teaching load is very light and typically consists of assisting with a freshman or sophomore level course. All offers of admission in recent years have been accompanied by a fellowship or assistantship offers, and such support is independent of whether the student is domestic or international.
