PhD students are guaranteed to have funding support from the University of Chicago, external sources, or a combination of the two for the duration of their program. The funding package includes the following:

• Full tuition coverage
• Annual stipend
• Fully paid individual annual premiums for UChicago's student health insurance (U-SHIP, the University Student Health Insurance Plan)
• Student Services Fee

The goal of the University’s commitment to ensuring that students are supported is to allow students to prioritize their studies and prepare for rewarding careers. We expect students to remain in good academic standing and to be making progress toward completing degree requirements.

Additional fellowships and awards are available to support language study, conference travel, and research travel.
