To assist Ph.D. students in the first seven years of residence who are not covered by fellowships, GSAS supplements the award of any Ph.D. student who wins a significant competitive outside award, so that the award fully covers tuition and health fees. An award is considered significant if the award stipend is at least equal to the Columbia standard stipend for students who are still doing their course work or at least half of the standard stipend for students registered for the registration category of Matriculations and Facilities.

If an entering Ph.D. student who is not funded in the first year receives a FLAS, GSAS covers the balance of the student’s tuition and health fees.
