Graduate Financial Aid

Doctoral Financial Aid

All students accepted into the Department of Psychology's doctoral programs are fully funded through the Henry M. MacCracken Program. MacCracken Fellows are funded through a combination of teaching assistantship, research assistantship, and fellowship, in proportions to be determined. The award package typically includes a full tuition scholarship, comprehensive health insurance and a stipend. Funding is typically guaranteed for five years, although students with substantial graduate credits or a Master's degree may only be guaranteed four years of support.

The standard five-year financial aid package for students entering in Fall 2007 is:

  • Academic Year Stipend: $21,000 in 07-08
  • Departmental Summer Research Fellowship: $5,000 per year
  • Full tuition support (up to 12 credits/semester)
  • Comprehensive health-care insurance
MacCracken Fellows are required to serve as Teaching Assistants for four semesters as part of their training. This requirement can be reduced to as few as two semesters by securing external fellowship or faculty grant support.

PhD students are encouraged to apply for external fellowships to fund their own research. The National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health award predoctoral fellowships that provide stipend and tuition. The American Psychological Association awards fellowships to minorities.
