Financial Resources

We commit to fully funding all our students for 5 years. The normal funding arrangement is a University assignment that typically includes a 50% teaching assistantship for the 9-month academic year and a summer scholarship.

The support in 2009-2010 was approximately $23,000. This support generally consists of a $15,500 assistantship, $2,000 summer fellowship, and $5,500 for tuition and fees. We always nominate, and are often successful at securing, additional fellowships from the Graduate College that offer multiple years of financial support with no TA or RA assignment.

To further support our students’ learning and research, the M&O Department pays for student membership to our professional organizations (Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology and the Academy of Management) for two years, provides funds for doctoral student travel to national conferences throughout the program, and has recently started offering a $2,500 per student research budget, allocated in stages as the student successfully passes major program milestones. This budget may be used at the discretion of the student for funding research projects, or paying for professional memberships and journal subscriptions.

We will fund students on externally funded grants when they are available.
