Financial Aid
The Katz Doctoral Program provides a four-year financial aid package—three years as a research assistant and one year as a teaching assistant. The package includes a stipend of between $18,450 (research assistantship) and $23,512 (teaching assistantship), full tuition remission, and health insurance. A cost of living increase is usually applied to the stipend each year. This package is available to both domestic and international students.
