Financial Aid

More than 80% of full-time PhD students are supported by Doctoral Assistantships, valued at $15,000 per academic year, plus tuition. These assistantships are available on a competitive basis for full-time PhD students. Applications for assistantships are included in the application packet. The remaining full-time students are funded from a variety of sources, including research assistantships (sponsored by the major professor), doctoral teaching assistantships, departmental teaching assistantships, tuition-only/stipend-only scholarships, university fellowships, etc. (see http://www.montclair.edu/graduate/prospective-students/financial-information/scholarships/).
