Funding

All full-time graduate students receive a stipend, full tuition remission, and individual health insurance (with an option to purchase additional family coverage). The stipend is competitive ($24,650 for the 2008-2009 academic year) and, given Pittsburgh's affordable cost of living, allows students to live comfortably. A $2,000 educational enrichment account also is provided to each first-year student.
