Support for a second year is contingent upon satisfactory progress in the graduate program and satisfactory performance of assigned duties. The department can often provide a stipend for summer research support to students the summer following their first year to enable a solid start in research. Support for a second summer is less common, since students can typically satisfy program requirements within that timeframe when supported by an assistantship, although at least partial support has occasionally been provided to allow final completion of project or thesis work.
