*Fellowships and other funding available: Most of the graduate students in the School
Psychology program receive funding from research assistantships. A full (.50) assistantship pays
a stipend for 20 hours per week of work, but also covers full tuition, fees, and insurance. A half
(.25) assistantship also has a stipend for 10 hours per week of work, but covers half tuition and
fees. Anyone receiving an assistantship is also charged in-state tuition rates. Some students
receive various fellowships such as the New Student Fellowship or the Diversity of Views and
Experiences (DOVE) Fellowship, both of which cover tuition, fees, and insurance while also
paying a generous stipend. However, fellowships are highly competitive.
