Students act as research or teaching assistants as a means of earning their stipends.
Students are not permitted to hold other jobs, except in special circumstances and by prior approval of the directors. The program normally covers first year tuition up to the amount of in-state fees. Tuition waivers for subsequent years will be determined annually and will be subject to budget restrictions and satisfactory progress of the student. Graduate grants, fellowships, and scholarships are also available through such sources as APA, APS, NSF, and others. Minority students often have special funding sources available to them, which they are encouraged to investigate through the Financial Aid Office.
