Basic Science Division PhD Programs

Full-time students enrolled in PhD programs in the Basic Science Division receive a full tuition scholarship and a stipend or research assistantship that is designed to cover living and educational costs incurred while enrolled in GSBS. Health insurance for the student and all fees except the Student Activity Fee are also covered. No separate financial aid form is required for this school-sponsored financial aid. On rare occasions, students in this division self-fund their education.

Please note that since the tuition for Basic Science PhD students is fully covered and these students receive a stipend. If there is any need for additional financial support, the room in their budget to borrow federal student loans is usually minimal. Federal Financial Aid is based on student’s eligibility and varies for each student. For more information, contact the Office of Financial Aid.

2024-2025 Basic Science PhD Tuition and Financial Support

Notes: Tuition is only charged, and a tuition scholarship awarded, for the first five years of the PhD program. Self-funded students are charged an additional $6,000 per term to defray research laboratory costs.

Per credit cost for non-degree coursework for students entering in Summer 2018 or later is $1,208 per credit.

Fall semester bills are due the first week of August; spring semester bills are due the first week of December. All students, regardless of the source of their funding, must pay all outstanding charges by the due date. Students who do not pay in a timely manner will be subject to late fees, prevented from registering, and ultimately will be withdrawn from school.
