Financial Aid

The University of Chicago offers a number of fellowships and scholarships to outstanding graduate students (see the list below). The Department of Linguistics makes every effort to recommend offers of financial aid to cover tuition and, in many cases, a stipend for a student's living expenses. The University of Chicago offers generous fellowship support to applicants admitted to our doctoral program. For further information, please refer to the Grants and Fellowships page for Prospective Students on the divisional web site for more information on financial aid.

Some linguistics students may also work as research assistants to faculty members involved in research projects within the Department and in other departments. Although the University of Chicago does not have an extensive system of teaching fellowships (College courses are for the most part taught by faculty members), the Department recognizes the importance of teaching experience in a student's training, and makes an effort to help students obtain such experience. We are able to employ some advanced graduate students as teaching assistants in introductory courses; such positions carry full or partial tuition remission plus additional compensation for the period of appointment. In addition, the Department makes an effort to assist advanced graduate students in finding lecturer positions at the University of Chicago and at other Chicago-area institutions.
