Annual Stipend and Benefits
All students receive competitive stipends to cover living expenses. The benefits package also includes tuition remission and a choice of comprehensive health insurance plans which include medical, dental, and vision at a minimal cost. It is the same coverage offered to faculty and staff.
Funding
Training Grants
Many of our graduate students are supported by NIH training grants. Prospective students must be nominated by the MCP Admissions Committee or by faculty mentors to receive training grant support. Opportunities may also be available during the first semester of study, and students are encouraged to contact the MCP Program for assistance with the nomination process.
Fellowships
Some students are supported by University fellowships administered by the Graduate School. Other extramural funding sources include NIH, NSF, DOD, DOE, AHA, PhRMA, and more. Students can receive application assistance from the University.
