Graduate Stipends
All qualified applicants for the Ph.D. program
are automatically considered for graduate stipend support and
tuition scholarships, and no separate application is required.
Students receiving a graduate stipend are also provided with
tuition scholarships (in other words, students do not have to pay
tuition during the program, pending satisfactory academic
progress). Occasionally (but rarely), a student may be admitted
into our Ph.D. program without departmental stipend support. M.S.
Students are not eligible for departmental stipends, although
special industrial fellowships are available for the tracks in
Pharmacometrics.
These fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. Most
stipends and fellowships are available beginning September 1 of
each academic years. The Department does not encourage entry into
the program during the Spring semester, since many course
sequences begin in the Fall, and new stipend/fellowship openings
are generally not available to begin in the Spring.
Costs
A University at Buffalo education is an
excellent value. As a public university, our tuition and fees are only a fraction of the cost of
attending a private college or university of comparable quality
and opportunity. While actual expenses will vary based on
lifestyle, the graduate estimated costs of attendance should assist
in planning your own budget. The estimated budgets represent full
time attendance for the upcoming Fall and Spring academic terms
and are made up of direct (tuition and fees) and indirect costs
(housing, board, books and supplies, personal and miscellaneous,
transportation, and origination fee).
Financial Aid
If you need additional help financing your
education, U.S. citizens should apply for financial aid by
filling out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
online. The FAFSA is an application for student aid that collects
the basic information needed to determine your eligibility for
all of the financial aid programs sponsored by the federal
government. You may receive more detailed information by visiting
UB’s Student Response Center website or
by calling (716) 645-2450 or (toll free)
