Aid & Awards

Most Ph.D. students in mathematics receive a Graduate Teaching Assistantship and support is usually provided for a five-year period. Teaching assistants (TAs) receive a University Tuition Scholarship (a service-free award that pays all tuition costs), student health insurance coverage, and a 12-month stipend. For 2024-25, the stipend is $36,500. Read more about the duties and training of teaching assistants.

Some highly qualified applicants are awarded University Graduate Fellowships that provide an additional stipend up to $5,000. Also, the Graduate School awards several Provost’s Graduate Fellowships that provide an additional $10,000 to highly qualified students from underrepresented groups.

Students who do not have financial aid pay tuition of $2,215 per credit hour.
