The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology meets the financial needs of its graduate students through department fellowships, full tuition grants, teaching fellowships, and research assistantships. Financial support is awarded on a 12-month basis, enabling students to persue their research throughout the year.
Tuition is afforded all graduate students in good standing for the tenure of the PhD program.
All students who are not on independent fellowships hold teaching fellowships in their first year. Research assistantships provide an opportunity for students to devote more time to research. These are generally awarded to advanced graduate students who have been teaching fellows. The 12-month research assistantship is the major vehicle for student support within a research group. Information is obtained by writing to the respective agencies directly, or by inquiring at your college career counseling office.
