Are there fellowships or other forms of support for new students besides teaching assistantships?
Yes. For beginning PhD students, in recent years there have been a number of fellowships funded by the NSF’s VIGRE program (Vertical Integration Grants for Research and Education), as well as fellowships funded by the University of Washington. In addition, most students who complete the PhD program receive at least a few quarters of support from fellowships or research assistantships without teaching duties.
