Tuition and Fellowship Information
All admitted students receive 5 years of fellowship support.
Our standard tuition scholarship fully covers tuition costs and enrollment fees. Also, students receive an annual stipend paid over twelve months as well as subsidized health insurance. Additional fellowships may be awarded to exceptional students, increasing the amount of stipend for the full 5 years.
Students may obtain an additional year of aid by competing with other students across the Graduate School for several competitive Emory fellowships. We also strongly encourage our students to seek out and apply for external funding opportunities.
Your completed application serves as your request for funding. No additional forms are needed to apply for this support. More funding opportunities are available through the Graduate School. For more details, please visit their website at http://www.graduateschool.emory.edu/funding/index.html.
