Financial aid is offered in the form of a teaching assistantship.
The figures offered below are approximate and subject to change. Support typically continues beyond the first year, for up to 2 years total for M.Sc. students and 3 years for Ph.D. students. Summer support is reduced after the first year, with the understanding that continued support is by agreement between the student and the faculty member who is supervising the student's research. Students who receive this award package must arrive on campus one week prior to the start of classes, to take TA orientation classes. It is assumed that students who do not arrive by this time are not coming, and their award may be given to another student.
