VISA & Work Study

Work Study

Teaching Assistantships: As a new PhD graduate student, you will likely be a TA for at least your first three quarters in the program. This gives you the opportunity to gain teaching experience at the University level and to sharpen your understanding of general chemistry, which will prepare you for your Qualifying Examination (QE) in your second year.
Graduate Student Researcher Positions: Research appointments are funded by grants from a faculty adviser, after being formally accepted into a research group. Graduate students are supported as GSRs in the summer following the first academic year and usually more often after you have passed your QE and Advanced to Candidacy.
Internal and External Fellowships: Entering and continuing graduate students are eligible to apply annually for Graduate Studies Internal Fellowships, which are awarded competitively based on outstanding scholarship. Be sure to also browse their External Fellowships and Grants listings and utilize the recommended fellowship search engines. Highly qualified undergraduate students are encouraged to apply for pre-doctoral fellowships as early as the Fall of their senior year of college. Such fellowships include those from the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Hertz Foundation.
