The Admissions Committee of the program nominates candidates. The student need not be on a graduate assistantship to be nominated for a PACE award. The sooner we receive these materials, the sooner your application can be considered for admission and financial aid opportunities. The deadline for applicants seeking fall admission is February 1 . Although not required, GRE Subject test scores are desirable.
Suitable subjects are biochemistry, chemistry, and biology.
No additional forms are required for consideration for financial aid opportunities. First year students are supported by stipends from the Immunobiology program. Students on graduate assistantships are eligible for a Graduate College Scholarship that pays one-half tuition per semester. After choosing major professors and home departments, students are normally supported by stipends from their departments. Direct admission into the Immunobiology Program, however, guarantees payment of a stipend for four full years as long as the student remains in good academic standing and progresses satisfactorily on his or her dissertation research.
