The on-campus centers differ in the ages they will accept, the fees they charge, the degree of parental involvement they require, and the amount of flexibility they have built into their scheduling. Students typically receive research fellowships during the first year and teaching assistantships in subsequent years. Fellowships are also available to qualified minority students. Separate sources of support include individual research grants or training grants awarded to participating faculty. Students working toward joint degrees may be supported through the department of their other major.
Admission automatically includes financial support.
