Stipends for Thesis-Based Programs
Students in thesis-based programs are eligible for funding. Your funding package will cover tuition and a living stipend (i.e., a stipend). You are encourgaed to apply for internal and external awards. Your stipend may be adjusted based on the awards that you receive.
