Funding
Our department provides funding to its students in the form of tuition remission for the first 5 years. In addition, we have been able to consistently provide funding through Teaching Assistantships and Research Assistantships for the first 4 years, contingent on satisfactory performance in the department.
Funding from the Graduate School:
Applicants who check the appropriate box on the application will also be considered for funding from The Graduate School through University Fellowships. Check with The Graduate School's Web site for the deadline to apply for University Fellowships. It is usually January 1st.
In addition, many of our students receive special
fellowships from outside sources, such as the National Science
Foundation and the Spencer Foundation.
Traineeships, part-time jobs and other support are also
available through the Odum Institute for Research in Social Sciences,
the Carolina Population Center, the Institute on Aging, the Sheps
Center for Health Services Research, the Frank Porter Graham Child
Development Center, and other affiliated institutions:
- Carolina Population Center
- Sheps Center for Health Services Research
- Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center
- Odum Institute for Research in Social Sciences
- UNC Institute on Aging
Since the graduate program requires a full-time commitment
from students, the department does not recommend holding non-academic
part-time jobs.
