Financial Assistance

Teaching Fellowships are available through the Mathematics Department. Teaching Fellows who have earned fewer than 18 hours of approved graduate credit in mathematics are paid a stipend of $14,926 per year. Graduate students with 18 or more hours are paid $17,560 per year (some graduate school restrictions apply). Doctoral students who have passed to ABD (All But Dissertation) status are paid $20,204 per year. Instructional duties normally consist of teaching two classes per semester.

Outstanding students may be considered for TGS (Toulouse Graduate School) graduate tuition scholarships. There are also TGS Masters/Doctoral Fellowships (MDF) which pay an improved stipend and include tuition waivers. The MDF candidates must complete their application with the TGS early (January or February).

Outstanding students with an interest in logic and/or dynamics might also consider applying for a Research Training Group Graduate Fellowship. Each fellowship includes at least five years of support consisting of a stipend of $20,000 for the academic year, all tuition and fees, summer support, and money for travel to conferences. For more information, please visit the RTG Fellowships/Scholarships web page.

With the exception of RTG Fellows, MDF and tuition scholarship recipients, Teaching Fellows pay tuition and fees at the rate for Texas residents, which is $2,790 per semester for the 2011-2012 academic year.
