Well-qualified Ph.D. applicants may receive an offer of financial support in the form of an assistantship which typically includes a stipend/salary and the payment of all applicable tuition and fees on behalf of the student. The School of Medicine sets a foundation level of annual stipend/salary support currently at $23,100 per year; in addition annual tuition and fee costs of $10,808 ( Virginia resident) or $23,117 (non-resident) are separately provided. Additional support, including the provision of a contribution to defray the cost of health insurance, may be offered by individual programs to highly qualified applicants. Individual programs should be contacted for details.
