> Funding

Applications to graduate studies act as the application for financial support. Offers of financial support accompany offers of admission for students admitted to Plant Pathology. Most students hold research assistantships (RA's). The availability of RA's is limited. They carry a stipend, which is $17,772 for 12 months (07/04), a remission of tuition, and the option to participate in a health-care plan comparable to that available to faculty.

International students should refer to the following website when preparing their applications. You will submit your financial information only after a favorable admission decision has been made.

Although paid teaching assistant (TA) appointments are not generally available in Plant Pathology, there are many opportunities on campus to secure such a position. Students will be notified when such opportunities arise.

In-course students are encouraged to apply for funding for their graduate education. The Department will inform students of such opportunities. Although the Department is committed to supporting students who continue to make good progress, there is considerable satisfaction and prestige associated with obtaining scholarships or grant support.
