Graduate Support

Graduate Student Support

Graduate students in the neuroscience program are supported financially via a number of mechanisms. Graduate teaching assistants are provided a stipend by the University and are required to assist teaching in neuroscience-related classes. Graduate research assistants are supported directly by the neuroscience program and do not have teaching requirements. Some students are supported from external NIH or NFS grants obtained by their advisors. Other may be supported via the Sensory Neurobiology COBRE grant. Support of graduate students is flexible and often changes during the degree process to suit the student needs, and according to the availability of funds. All funding mechanisms cover tuition expenses.
