Graduate program information for
prospective studentsFinancial support for graduate students
The departmental application form is used for both admission and financial
aid decisions. Nearly all students admitted to the Ph.D. program receive
financial aid from the department or other sources. Support continues for four
years, contingent on the student's satisfactory progress and the availability of
funds. Financial support is also available for most students through years five
or six, contingent on the student’s satisfactory progress and the availability
of funds.
Sources of support administered by the department are traineeships (National Institute
of Mental Health), research assistantships (individual faculty research grants),
and teaching assistantships. The department nominates promising students for
traineeships through the Center for Research in Learning,
Perception, and Cognition (National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development), Graduate School fellowships, and
College of
Education and Human Development fellowships. Underrepresented students are
eligible for the
Diversity of Views & Experiences (DOVE) fellowship
.
Stipends and conditions vary for different forms of support; however, all
appointments of 50 percent time (the usual percentage) include payment of University
tuition and health coverage.
Applicants are encouraged to seek their own fellowship support from external agencies like
the National Science Foundation or the
Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) in
Canada.
