Funding

PhD

Regardless of their citizenship or financial circumstances, all admitted E-IPER PhD students are guaranteed up to 12 quarters of funding, compiled from a variety of sources including teaching assistantships, research assistantships, gifts, and endowed funds. However, PhD applicants are encouraged to investigate outside funding opportunities, such as the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships, the Department of Energy (as federal agencies, these opportunities are limited to US citizens and permanent residents), and other opportunities for which they might be eligible. An extensive list of fellowship opportunities can be found under Financial Resources.

Joint MS

E-IPER is not able to provide funding for Joint MS students at this time. Joint MS students are responsible for paying GSB tuition for two years or Stanford Law School tuition for three years, and then will pay Stanford graduate school tuition for any additional quarters. Graduate tuition rates are set by the University each year and depend on the number of units taken. Financial aid for Joint MS students may be available through the individual professional schools, in some cases targeted specifically to students pursuing the Joint MS:

• Stanford Law School
• Graduate School of Business
• School of Medicine
