The first round of acceptances is normally completed by the end of January. However, the application process can continue well into the summer, until all positions are filled. Financial aid is considered at the same time as admission, and a separate application is not necessary. Virtually every student accepted into our graduate program will receive a stipend derived from faculty research grants. Full time graduate students are supported by research and teaching awards.
Students are responsible for paying their own tuition fees.
Support is normally available for a maximum of 2 years. Financial support is not normally available for part-time students. Due to the extreme competition, applicants are encouraged to also seek funding from external sources that may be available. Fees are to be paid by the student. Similar scholarships are available from a number of Foundations including the Whitaker Foundation .
