Base stipends for students in 2007 will be $18,500 per year for three years. Receipt of this stipend is NOT tied to work responsibilities. Additional funding is possible through paid research and teaching assistantships among other sources.
Because our program is full time, students are discouraged from engaging in outside employment.
Other tuition and stipend award packages are available from the following sources:
These fellowships are awarded as a result of an annual competition open to all women who intend to commence graduate studies at Washington University the following fall. Olin Fellowships carry stipends for four years and full tuition. Women wishing to become candidates for the Olin Fellowship competition are asked to complete a separate Olin application in addition to their application for admission. Applicants must be graduates of a baccalaureate institution in the United States. For more information, call (314) 935-6818 or visit the Olin Fellowship website at http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~olin/.
These fellowships are designed to facilitate training for students who will contribute to diversity in graduate education and who are interested in becoming college or university professors. Students will be selected who, in light of all pertinent qualifications, experiences and attributes, would contribute to the diversity of graduate education at Washington University. For more information, call 314-935-6821 or visit: http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~cgfp/.
These fellowships offer three years of tuition and stipend support from the National Institute of Mental Health. The fellowship is designed to prepare researchers to investigate such issues as the access, organization, and effectiveness of mental health services, particularly for clients in social service sectors of care. Visit the Center for Mental Health Services Research website at http://gwbweb.wustl.edu/cmhsr/training.html.
This program offers tuition, three years of stipend support and a travel allowance from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Recipients conduct research on services and treatment of substance abusing and comorbid populations (particularly those under-served.) The STAR Program will produce social work researchers who have state-of-the-art knowledge of addiction services, prevention and intervention, and service delivery system costs and burdens. For more information call (314) 935-6685.
The Brown School provides additional financial support to doctoral students such as travel subsidies for professional conferences. Advanced doctoral students are encouraged to apply for both internal and external dissertation awards.
Loans are available to graduate students whose financial need is not otherwise met. Application should be made to the Graduate School. Call (314) 935-6821 for more details.
Notes: While international students may receive a university fellowship and stipend, they are not eligible for federal financial aid and are, therefore, asked to contact our PhD Office for information on non-federal assistance. Again, we urge you to apply to the Program early so that awards my be secured well in advance of the Fall term.
