All students admitted to the Psychology Department are offered a
financial package that supports them from September of their first year
through the following five years. (In 2006-2007 the stipend was $20,000
for the academic year and $6,667 for the summer). Additionally,
University subsidized
housing near the campus, is available and tuition and
health insurance
fees are paid for the five year period. This support package combines
Research Assistant positions and Graduate Teaching Fellowship
positions. As a Research Assistant, students collaborate on research
with a faculty member. Graduate teaching responsibilities involve
assisting in instruction on one course per year.
