Financial Support
PhD in AMIS
Several forms of financial support for your graduate education are available to you on a competitive basis. Virtually all of our students hold a teaching and research associateship or a university fellowship. Each of these forms carries a monthly stipend, plus a full waiver of resident or nonresident tuition and fees. All university fellows, teaching associates, and research associates carry a full-time equivalent course load.
Teaching and Research Associateships
Our students are provided a combination of teaching and research
associateships and are paid a very competitive stipend. Both the
teaching and research associateships complement your graduate
education; we encourage all of our students to accept such
appointments during the course of their graduate studies.
University Fellowships and Support
A limited number of university fellowships are available for highly
qualified U.S. and international applicants, including those who have
already received their master's degrees from other institutions.
Application materials must be submitted to the Graduate School by
January 15 to be eligible for that year's fellowship competition.
The AICPA and AAA provide supplementary grants of $5,000 annually for
up to three years; in addition, the AACSB offers $12,000 first-year
fellowships. These awards to outstanding applicants are independent
of university financial aid; you should apply directly to each
organization. Students in residence are also eligible for several
supplementary grants and prizes awarded by the AMIS faculty. In
addition, we encourage students to compete for national grants which
permit full-time attention to the dissertation during their final
year.
