Generous funding opportunities for our MA and PhD candidates include fellowships, tuition reimbursement, health insurance assistance and stipends for Teaching Assistantships and Graduate Part-Time Instructorships.
The department will offer five-year PhD fellowships, which will include a tuition waiver, teaching exemption in the first year, and competitive monthly stipend. Beyond these department funding opportunities, graduate students may also apply for awards, grants and fellowships through the Center for Asian Studies and the Graduate School.
