Financial Aid
Incoming PhD students in Statistics typically are provided with a minimum of five academic years and four summers of guaranteed funding, contingent upon satisfactory progress. The first year of support is a Fellowship; for 2009-2010 the Fellowship comes with a stipend of $20,520 ($1,710 per month for 12 months) and full tuition for the academic year and summer 2009-2010. This includes summer funding (for research), contingent upon good academic standing at the end of Spring Quarter. In addition, graduate students at Northwestern are eligible to enroll in a health insurance plan that will receive 100% subsidization from The Graduate School. The tuition and health insurance are non-taxable. For more information about financial aid see http://www.tgs.northwestern.edu/financialaid/.
