PhD Student Funding Overview

At Yale, you can earn your doctorate at our expense.

Our funding packages for Yale PhD students are among the most generous in the world. Every PhD student receives a fellowship for the full cost of tuition, a stipend for living expenses, and paid health coverage, though the details of your funding package will differ depending on your academic program. On average, doctoral students receive more than $500,000 in tuition fellowships, stipends, and health premium benefits over the course of their enrollment. Full PhD funding normally extends for a minimum of five years, unless your doctoral program is of shorter duration, e.g., Investigative Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Public Health.

The main categories of funding available to PhD students are detailed below. Our Programs & Policies handbook contains additional information about funding and fellowship opportunities available at the Graduate School, along with applicable policies.

If you have questions about your funding, you can ask your program registrar or DGS, Graduate Financial Aid, or Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels.

Types of Funding for PhD Students

University Fellowships (UFs) are provided through the Graduate School and do not require teaching in Yale's Teaching Fellow Program. UFs are often used during the initial year(s) of your doctoral program to cover your stipend and tuition, when you are engaged in coursework and identifying an adviser.

For official policies governing University Fellowships, including information on deferring a UF, please see our Programs & Policies Bulletin .

In subsequent years and in most programs, your stipend will be funded by a teaching fellowship or a research assistantship.

Teaching Fellowships (TFs) are contingent on teaching Yale's Teaching Fellow Program (TFP). While you are on a TF, a portion of your stipend is compensation for teaching. The rest of your stipend will come from other sources, depending on your department or program. See the Teaching Fellow Funding page for more information.

The teaching portion of your stipend is subject to federal tax withholding, so you will notice a difference in your paycheck in teaching versus non-teaching semesters.

In lieu of teaching in the Teaching Fellow Program, PhD students in the humanities and social sciences may choose to undertake one of the available Professional Development Opportunities . These positions allow you to gain professional experience at a library, museum, or other office on campus relevant to your studies.

If you are in the natural sciences, your funding will likely come from training grants and faculty research grants at some point during your enrollment. In most programs, you may only join a research group that has active grant funding. Please consult with your DGS, if you have questions about this aspect of your funding package.

We strongly encourage you to compete for external fellowships. Winning an external award in a national competition, whether sponsored by a public or private agency, is a significant honor. External fellowships may be subject to our Combined Award policy. Please be sure to review our External Fellowships & Awards page to understand how external awards interact with university funding.

An external fellowship may also offer you added flexibility in your program.

If you are a student in the natural sciences, an external fellowship may allow you to pursue a project or idea that is otherwise not eligible for financial support through your adviser’s research funding.
If you are a student in the humanities or social sciences, an external fellowship might allow you to defer a University Fellowship (UF) to a subsequent term or year.

You can search for external fellowships through the Yale Student Grants Database , other university search engines (e.g., UCLA ), and commercial sites .

You must notify the Graduate School of any external awards you receive.

Send a copy of your award letter to the Financial Aid Office at [email protected] .
If your award is subject to the Combined Award policy, then you will receive a combined award letter via email when your award has been processed, outlining your updated funding package.

For any questions and concerns regarding your combined award letter, please contact the Graduate School Financial Aid Office via email at [email protected]. Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels can also advise regarding our Combined Award policy.

What's My Level?

Application level selection.

The GRFP Application requires you to select the academic level that best describes the stage of your academic career. Use the GRFP Academic Level Questionnaire to help you select the appropriate academic level in your application. Levels are determined as follows:

Level 1. You have not previously enrolled in a graduate degree-granting program, but plan to start graduate study next fall. Includes undergraduates in the final year of a bachelor’s degree program and individuals who previously earned a bachelor’s degree.

Level 2. First year graduate student currently enrolled in a graduate degree-granting program, who has never applied to GRFP before as a graduate student or returning graduate student, or a student currently enrolled in a joint bachelor’s-master’s degree program (must have completed three academic years in program).

Level 3. Second year graduate student who has completed no more than one academic year of graduate study while enrolled in any graduate degree-granting program, does not have a graduate degree, and has never applied to GRFP before as a graduate student or returning graduate student.

Level 4. Returning graduate student who is not currently enrolled in a degree-granting program, and may have more than one academic year in a graduate-degree granting program and/or a master’s or professional degree, followed by an interruption of at least two years just prior to the GRFP application deadline. Note: address the reasons for the interruption and why you should be considered to be in the early stages of your graduate education in the Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement.

GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who have demonstrated the potential to be high achieving scientists and engineers, early in their careers. Applicants must be pursuing full-time research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education at accredited US institutions.

PhD Funding and Benefit Packages

Charles river campus.

Boston University’s PhD programs on the Charles River Campus subscribe to a full funding model. This system guarantees all PhD students in good standing five years of stipend support, 100% tuition scholarship, and a health insurance credit. This approach reflects BU’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of researchers across the humanities, social sciences, sciences, and engineering. Stipend level minimums vary by PhD program, but for the 2024-25 academic year, minimums will range from $27,318 for 8 months to $40,977 for 12 months. Students receive health insurance (the SHIP basic plan) through Aetna Student Health. Full tuition and student services fees are also covered for PhD students on the Charles River campus.

Medical Campus

PhD students in Graduate Medical Sciences (GMS) at Boston University’s School of Medicine and the School of Public Health (SPH) also enjoy a full-funding model. GMS and SPH PhD students receive a full tuition scholarship, are exempt from paying student fees, receive health insurance coverage as part of their support, and are entitled to an annual stipend. For more specific information, please visit the PhD funding sections of GMS and SPH .

PhD Stipend Extensions for Students Impacted by the COVID Pandemic

Boston University believes it is crucial to ensure that current PhD students who have had their progress impeded by the pandemic are able to complete their degrees. While individual PhD programs and the schools/colleges in which they are housed are the primary source of academic and financial support for PhD students, in rare circumstances, programs and schools/colleges may not have adequate resources to support all students whose progress has been hindered by the pandemic. For this reason, the Office of the Provost has established a fund to support PhD stipend extensions necessitated by this circumstance. Learn more about this funding opportunity and how to apply .

Please note that this program will end after the 2023-2024 academic year, concluding in early spring 2024 for logistical and operational purposes.

PhD Funding – A Checklist of Possible Sources

There are probably more funding opportunities for your PhD than you think. It is worth making sure you have investigated them all.

Funding bodies support PhD students in different ways. Some pay course fees only, some include a stipend (maintenance costs) or travel expenses, and others offer a one-off award to ease the financial burden of academic study.

Each funding body will have its own criteria for eligibility. At PhD level full funding will tend to be awarded on academic merit, but there are also some that take into account financial background and other criteria such as gender (such as in the case of the British Federation of Women Graduates).

Research Councils

The seven Research Councils invest in the region of £380 million into doctorate research every year. However, funding is made available through the participating universities rather than the research councils themselves. Universities set up Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) or Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) in order to receive funding.

It is then up to the universities to decide who to award studentships to – usually based on academic merit following a competitive application process.

Eligibility criteria and award amounts are standardised and you will find many other funded PhDs referring to research council rates when defining their own. Research council studentships include fees and a minimum stipend per annum which is paid tax-free.

The seven Research Councils include:

Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)

Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)

Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

Medical Research Council (MRC)

Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)

Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)

The above organisations have been grouped together with Innovate UK and Research England in 2018, and the umbrella organisation is called UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) .

UKRI’s key objectives include providing funding for the training of new researchers.

Academic institutions

Universities, colleges and research institutes also fund their own studentships, and these are typically listed on the institution’s own website alongside its research council-funded studentships. Some will offer fees only, while others may offer a stipend as well. Amounts may vary although many use the research council rates as a benchmark.

Commercial and charitable organisations

A number of non-academic organisations help fund research at PhD level in collaboration with the university hosting the study. CASE (Cooperative Awards in Science and Engineering) studentships are for four-year PhDs. These are part-funded by a non-academic ‘co-operating body’ such as a UK industrial firm, public sector organisation or charity. Students spend at least three months of the PhD working in-situ at the co-operating body which makes a financial contribution to both the student and the project. Students often find these to be good avenues for finding full-time work at the end of their placement, and will have gained valuable hands-on work experience. There are also CASE-Plus studentships where students spend a further year working full-time on the premises of the co-operating body as an employee following the PhD.

A number of charitable organisations, foundations and trusts can help fund PhDs:

The Wellcome Trust

Cancer Research UK

The British Academy

The British Federation of Women Graduates

The Institution of Civil Engineers

Institution of Engineering & Technology

Institution of Mechanical Engineers

Royal Geographical Society

Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland

Leverhulme Trust

Action Medical Research

The Grundy Educational Trust .

Self-funding

If you are having difficulty in getting funding from the above sources, you may be able to fund your own way through a PhD. You may be eligible for Professional and Career development loans. It is wise to review the specific application criteria to ensure that you are eligible.

A further option is to study part-time while working. This could however place additional demands on your time and financial situation. Be aware that if you have managed to access some funding elsewhere, you may be prohibited from working during your PhD as part of the stipulations of the award.

The jobs.ac.uk website lists some excellent PhD opportunities as well as a wide range of jobs – do take a look at them!

Graduate School

Ph.d. funding.

Financing & Support

The Graduate School offers incoming doctoral students five years of guaranteed financial support, including a stipend, tuition remission, health-services fee, and health- and dental-insurance subsidies.

This support — which may take the form of a teaching assistantship, research assistantship, fellowship, or proctorship — helps to defray the cost of tuition, and also provides a stipend to assist with living expenses during the student’s program.

Doctoral students in the Humanities and Social Sciences are guaranteed six years of support. This support can come from a variety of Brown University resources--including Graduate School funds, departmental funds, and faculty research funds--and/or external funds, as applicable.

Stipends, Fellowships & Assistantships

Graduate students at Brown have a plethora of teaching, fellowship, and assistantship opportunities.

Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9)

All students entering the Graduate School with any form of financial support are required to complete an Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9). Please note: The I-9 cannot be completed without a valid social security number or a receipt proving that a social security number has been applied for.

Learn More About the I-9

Studentships and doctoral training

Get a studentship to fund your doctorate.

UKRI studentships offer funding for doctoral research. They also offer you access to training, networking and development opportunities to help you build a research and innovation career.

Our expectations for research organisations, supervisors and students are set out in the statement of expectations for doctoral training .

You could get:

a minimum stipend of £19,237 per year for your living costs, which is paid to you in regular instalments
support for your tuition fees (minimum £4,786 per year)

The stipend is usually non-taxable and does not need to be paid back. Some research organisations may offer more if you study in London, or they or one of their collaborators might decide to top up the payment. This will be outlined in the studentship advert from the research organisation.

We normally pay the support for tuition fees directly to your research organisation.

The levels given here are for the academic year 2024 to 2025. UKRI’s approach to doctoral stipend and fee levels will be reviewed through the  new deal for postgraduate research .

Additional support for your doctoral studies

As a UKRI-funded doctoral student, you may be able to access additional funding to cover the cost of other related training and development opportunities.

This could include:

conference attendance
language training
overseas research visits
internships or placements with a non-academic partner

The availability of support will depend on the research organisation and the training grants they have on offer. You should contact the research organisation you are interested in applying to, to find out what you could get.

Extra support if you have a disability

If you have a disability, you may be entitled to a Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) on top of your studentship.

You should speak to your research organisation’s disability advisor to assess your needs. They can help put the right support in place, including a DSA application if necessary. You cannot claim DSA directly from UKRI.

DSA helps to cover the cost of any additional support that a person studying for a doctorate might need as a result of a disability, mental health problem or specific learning difficulty.

The allowance covers:

non-medical personal assistance
specialist equipment
extra travel costs
general expenses

Find out more about DSA in our framework .

If you are a research organisation you can download claim forms and guidance for DSA .

Who can apply

Any prospective doctoral student wishing to study at a UK research organisation, including prospective international students, can apply for a UKRI studentship.

All UKRI-funded doctoral students will be eligible for the full award, both the stipend to support living costs, and home-level fees at the UK research organisation rate.

How to find opportunities

Many UK research organisations offer some form of studentship funding from UKRI. These opportunities will depend on the subject you want to study and will normally be advertised by the research organisations.

Research organisations may have additional opportunities that do not involve UKRI. UKRI supports around 20% of all UK-based postgraduate researchers. You should speak to the research organisation you are interested in to find out what studentships are available.

You could also consider using a specialist website like   FindaPhD  to look for opportunities.

When to apply

Research organisations set their own deadlines for applications.

Many open for applications early in the academic year and close in January or February. This is not a hard and fast rule. It is important that you check the deadlines for the research organisation where you want to study.

How to apply

You cannot apply to UKRI for a studentship. You must contact the research organisation you are interested in studying with and use their application process.

For doctoral students who are already studying with a studentship, there are opportunities to get additional funding to support placements that are separate from your doctorate.  Find training and development opportunities .

Graduate College

Graduate college post-comprehensive research fellowship.

This fellowship program provides an opportunity for advanced Ph.D. students to benefit from protected and supported time to pursue their scholarly research activities. The fellowship is intended to recognize students with distinguished academic achievement during their early graduate training. These achievements should be evident from a combination of outstanding academic performance in coursework, as well as early scholarly research activities. Students who have held teaching assistantships in the previous two semesters will have priority.

The Graduate College provides recipients with a $11,000 stipend. The fellowship includes a tuition scholarship for up to two credit hours, 50 percent of the mandatory fees, and a contribution towards their health and dental insurance. Students will be responsible for the remainder of their mandatory and course fees as well as any additional required credit hours.

Recipients may also be considered for Ballard and Seashore Dissertation Fellowships; however, the awards cannot occur in consecutive semesters. There must be a minimum of one semester between fellowships. Departments may nominate (in rank order) up to four students who passed their comprehensive exams between March 1, 2024, and August 31, 2024.

Please consult the Office of Student Financial Aid regarding how this award may affect financial aid packages.

Typically fellowships cannot be used in combination with any other source of support (e.g., fellowship/scholarship, grant, graduate assistantships, or employment outside the University of Iowa) since the fellowships are meant to provide protected time for the student to advance their studies. Failure to report additional employment can be considered in future applications/nominations/continued Graduate College funding for both the student and the department. For more information or to ask for a possible one-time exception, contact the Graduate College.

Because this is a post-comprehensive fellowship, a student may be nominated only once. The number of fellowships is limited and awards are highly competitive.

Successful dissertation completion by a department's previous fellowship recipients and by its general Ph.D. student cohort will be heavily weighted in award decisions. Departments/programs will become ineligible if students do not complete in a timely manner.
Nominees must have successfully completed the comprehensive examination (see above for dates of eligibility).
Typically fellowships cannot be used in combination with any other source of support (e.g., fellowship/scholarship, grant, graduate assistantships, or employment outside the University of Iowa) since the fellowships are meant to provide protected time for the student to advance their studies. Failure to report additional employment can be considered in future applications/nominations/continued Graduate College funding for both the student and the department.

Online nominations must include the following items as separate PDF files:

Student materials (single spaced, 12 pt. type, 1" margins)

A brief paragraph (250 words or less) which should highlight how the nominee has performed with distinction since undertaking graduate study at the University.
A one-page research outline and plan of study (4,000 characters or less) written to be in lay language (to be understood by the public). It should address the significance and purpose of the research and how this opportunity will impact the nominee's subsequent research plans. Do not include references.
A one-page C.V. of the nominee's educational and professional experience, honors and awards, and publications.
Transcript (unofficial is acceptable)

Two letters of support

One letter from the nominee's advisor (planned dissertation director) addressing a) a defined plan for close mentorship of the student during this semester and b) the student’s readiness to undertake the research plan.
One letter from the Director of Graduate Studies to describe and assess the student’s level of distinction when compared with their peer cohort. If more than one student is being nominated, this letter must also include a rank ordering of the candidates.

Nominations must be submitted online at https://workflow.uiowa.edu/form/post-comp-research-award by the department or program, with all materials prepared as PDF documents. Students must submit their part of the application materials to their department at least two weeks prior to the Graduate College deadline. Students should check with their department as soon as possible for departmental deadlines as well as to inform them that they intend to apply. Applications submitted by the student (and not someone in the department such as the DGS , DEO or grad coordinator) will be voided and not considered.

The deadline for submissions for Spring 2025 awards is Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 5pm. Submissions will be accepted in Workflow beginning Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Please note, you will receive a blank page if you click on the Workflow submission link before the form is officially open.

Please direct any questions to Jennifer Crawford ( [email protected] ; 335-3493) or [email protected].

Dr. Joshua Parsons Finds Research Grant Success Through Fellow Research Mentoring

Joshua Parsons, MD, credits his involvement with the Duke Department of Medicine’s Fellow Research Academy (FRA) as the key factor in his successful application for the National Institute of Health (NIH) K08: Clinical Investigator Award.

Dr. Parsons, a former clinical investigator pathway fellow and current assistant professor of medicine with the Division of Infectious Diseases has a PhD in biochemistry, which led him to his interest in the research topic of why some patients do well on antibiotics while others do poorly.

“Most of the work today is focused on how different antibiotic choice effects efficacy, but my work focuses on how differences in the bacteria shape how well people do when they’re on antibiotics,” said Parsons. “There are two aims: one is to examine how differences in bacteria genome affect susceptibility to antibiotics, and the second is to find out how changes in the Staphlyococcus aureus genome are related to clinical outcomes in humans.”

Dr. Parsons explained the importance of the research, saying that if it’s possible to detect in the micro-lab which strains of Staphylococcus aureus are likely to cause worse disease, practitioners can identify patients at risk of poor outcomes and adjust clinical management accordingly.

Inspired by the myriad of resources available to him at Duke, Dr. Parsons found interest in Duke’s immense S. aureus bacteremia group – prospective cohort study” (SABG-PCS) biorepository, which is a collection of S. aureus clinical bloodstream isolates from patients at Duke. “It’s the largest biorepositiory of S. aureus bloodstream isolates in the world that’s not available anywhere else, so that’s a real gold mine,” said Parsons. His mentor, Vance Fowler, MD, created this resource over the past 30 years. Parsons said his mentor makes that resource available to anybody with a good clinical question.

The K08 award is provided to individuals with a clinical doctoral degree and an intensive, supervised, research career development experience. According to the NIH, the grant supports individuals on a path to a productive, independent research career. Dr. Parsons received a score of 13 on his initial submission. With 10 being a perfect score, his grant will likely be funded.

The FRA aims to support the goals of aspiring researchers through three interrelated components, one of which is longitudinal grant development

The process that goes into writing a research grant isn’t openly taught to trainees, making it hard for most to find a resource that can guide them if they do not take advantage of the resources offered, such as the FRA.

“One of the unique things about the FRA is that it breaks things down into certain stages. Each component of the grant is broken down and systematically taught to you. It’s really good to have an expert to guide you,” said Parsons. “I did the FRA three years in a row, and it was the first time I’d been exposed to the systematic analysis of how you write grants and how you approach them.”

The FRA grant development workshop allows fellows to develop their own grants through large and small group work. Fellows who are ready to begin preparing career development award proposals participate in a fellow-focused grant incubator program led by the DOM Research Development Council team.

An additional benefit of the FRA is that it complements each research fellow’s existing mentor team by providing tailored training and a sense of community with other research fellows across the department.

“The amount of time Drs. Irina Mokrova and John Williams spent going through my grant and helping improve it was just astonishing,” said Parsons. “Sometimes, you give people things to read, and you can tell they just skimmed over it and didn’t really think about it, but they both gave me thoughtful comments and kept me encouraged and on target with dates.”

Fellows are encouraged to participate in the FRA throughout their designated research years, with no duration limit. Dr. Parsons encourages fellows to take advantage of the many tools offered through the FRA. “It’s an amazing program that the department has built over the last few years.”

Applications for the 2024-25 edition of the FRA will be opening in mid to late August 2024. For any additional details or questions, please email Saini Pillai, MBA .

Premkumar Lab

Research summary.

Dr. Premkumar is a maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist and a medical anthropologist, broadly interested in comprehensive reproductive health. His lab is focused on two goals: 1) Improving the quality of reproductive decision-making in the setting of prenatally-diagnosed congenital anomalies, especially those amenable to maternal-fetal surgery, and 2) Innovating methods to improve health outcomes of pregnant individuals who choose to proceed with different forms of management of prenatally-diagnosed congenital anomalies, inclusive of maternal-fetal surgery and abortion care.

Dr. Premkumar has been published widely in multiple peer-reviewed journals in the biomedical and social sciences. He has been funded by groups like the Society of Family Planning and the International Institute of Research in Paris, as part of the University of Chicago, for his work.

Main projects in the laboratory

Understanding parental decision-making in the setting of congenital anomalies. Advancements in prenatal diagnosis have ushered in the establishment of fetal treatment centers across the globe. In these centers, maternal-fetal medicine, neonatology, pediatric surgery, and other pediatric subspecialties engage in counseling, perioperative planning, and delivery coordination for pregnant people carrying a fetus (or fetuses) affected with prenatally-diagnosed congenital anomalies. Potential options for management include prenatal intervention (i.e., maternal-fetal surgery), expectant management, termination of pregnancy, and postnatal management, which may include postnatal palliative care. However, there are limited data in which to understand how people carrying pregnancies affected with fetal anomalies which are amenable to prenatal intervention pursue each of these strategies; how best to elicit parental desires for each strategy; and how to incorporate these strategies in clinical recommendations.
Improving care for pregnant people seeking medication abortion services at later gestations. For individuals who ultimately decide to terminate a pregnancy due to fetal anomalies, a key consideration is the method of termination. In the U.S. and across the globe, a significant number of individuals who face termination of pregnancy due to fetal anomalies undergo medication abortion (MAB), or the use of medications to induce labor to expulse both the fetus and the placenta. However, when compared with other methods of abortion (e.g., dilation and evacuation), MAB has been associated higher frequencies of maternal morbidity. Data from my research group demonstrates an association between duration of labor during I/T and experiencing maternal morbidity. Therefore, we are investigating methods to shorten the duration of labor among people undergoing I/T should be investigated to optimize maternal outcomes and reduce the risk of morbidity.
