The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has increased the standard stipend for students enrolled in doctoral programs in the humanities and social sciences by $1,000, beginning next fall, according to an announcement by Dean Peter Salovey.
The standard nine-month stipend for both entering and continuing students in Ph.D. programs in the humanities and social sciences will rise to $16,000 in the 2003-2004 academic year. In addition, students in the humanities and social sciences receive guaranteed summer study fellowships of $3,000 in their first and second summers.
Support for students in the sciences varies by field of study, and science stipends next year will increase commensurately.
All doctoral students, regardless of academic discipline, receive full tuition waivers for the four years that tuition is charged.
University Dissertation Fellowships, awarded to students in their fifth or sixth year to enable them to work full time on their dissertations, will also rise to $16,000.
"These increases will enable doctoral students to progress steadily in their programs as well as enable the Graduate School to maintain its strength among graduate schools at other leading universities," said Salovey.
Yale now provides full funding for all Ph.D. students, and the University offers a breadth of support for its graduate students unmatched by many schools. Over the course of graduate study towards a doctorate, the typical student receives financial aid from Yale totaling more than $185,000, including tuition waivers. All students working toward the Ph.D. are offered a financial aid package providing stipend support, comprehensive health care and tuition, whether or not students are engaged in teaching activities.
