Financial Support
Most Ph.D. students in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences (DHSS) receive financial support in the form of 100% tuition and a stipend. Support comes from such sources as research grants, training grants, and institutional resources. Financial awards are offered when students are notified of acceptance into the program, typically in early March. In some cases financial support is linked with specific research or teaching responsibilities, which are described in the written award offer.
