Stipends and Benefits

Our Funding Package

The Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies offers a competitive funding package for PhD and a number of master's students. This package includes tuition, health insurance, a living allowance or stipend, and a relocation bonus to help cover the costs of moving to New Hampshire. We guarantee funding for PhD students who remain in good standing for five years.

In addition to our funding, some students receive prestigious awards, including National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, and are supported by research and national training grants administered by faculty.

Other programs provide limited financial assistance. The terms of the awards may vary according to the program. For more information, please contact the individual program.
