Funding Resources
The AAE department funds PhD students by providing Research Assistantships, Teaching Assistantships and Fellowships. Candidates are made 4-5 year funding offers at the same time as admission. A funding offer may include a mix of funding appointments for the time of the program. Some PhD students continue to seek their own funding during their program which might free them from RA and TA obligations.
Research Assistantships (RA)
Teaching Assistantships (TA)
