Financial Support

All students accepted into the Biophysics program, whether citizens of the United States or foreign nationals, are guaranteed full financial support throughout their years as a graduate student. For the first two years of study, financial support derives from fellowships from Harvard University or the National Institute of Health Training Programs. In the third year and above, support will be provided by a student's thesis advisor. Continued support is contingent on satisfactory progress towards the Ph.D. degree.

Students accepted for the Fall of 2006 will receive full tuition and health insurance of $32,882 and an annual stipend of $28,008 ($23,340 for a ten month period starting Sept, 2006). This stipend is increased yearly as of July 1st to offset the higher cost of living. Outstanding students often win outside fellowships from the National Science Foundation, NDSEG, or the Hertz or Ford Foundations. Students are strongly encouraged to apply for these fellowships in their senior year of undergraduate study.
