FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Most graduate students are granted teaching fellowships that provide a maximum annual stipend and a tuition waiver. In addition, the Chemistry Department will provide a basic health insurance plan to students who are not otherwise covered by a policy.

A limited number of students receive Henry Eyring Research Fellowships to do research in the summer preceding their first year of graduate school. In addition, a special fellowship in the amount of $1,000 is offered to particularly outstanding graduate students. Funding for travel to scientific meetings is also possible.

All Ph.D students in good academic standing are guaranteed five years of financial support, either as a Teaching Assistant or as a Research Assistant.

The typical annual salary will be $19,500 beginning in Fall 2004.
