Is there full financial aid for first year students pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Genetics?
Graduate students who are admitted to the Genetics Program are supported for the first nine months as a teaching assistant. By the end of the first school year, it is expected that graduate students will have identified a research laboratory to join. Compensation for the graduate program in genetics is $23,000 per year. This support includes a stipend plus medical insurance benefits and eligibility for in-state tuition. There is usually no need for additional financial assistance under normal circumstances.
