Fellowships & Funding
 

A limited number of merit-based financial aid packages for history students are available on a competitive basis from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Students apply for aid at the same time as they apply for admission to the department. Packages generally include a stipend, a small supplement toward the cost of health insurance, and a tuition scholarship, and require work as a graduate assistant or teaching fellow. Students receiving financial aid packages may expect to receive one year of such aid at the master's level and three years at the doctoral level: generally no more than four years for those applying without the master's degree. Continuing students may expect to continue their financial aid packages provided that they have applied each spring semester and that they have maintained the stipulated GPA for financial aid (3.5) and are making satisfactory progress towards their degree. All recipients of financial aid must be certified by GSAS as full time students. All applicants for financial aid are to complete a FAFSA application yearly. All New York State resident applicants for financial aid must apply for TAP. No recipient of financial aid is to hold outside employment without the permission of the graduate dean.
