 GRADUATE PROGRAM
Stipends
All graduate students receive funding as long as they remain in good
standing.
Most students receive teaching assistantships during their first year.
The assistantship for the Fall 2010 term will be $19,000/yr. In
addition to the stipend, students also receive a tuition waiver
[students are required to pay matriculation fees of approximately $1000
(annually)]. The university also provides full health benefits to all
graduate students with assistantships ( http://www.hr.ufl.edu/benefits/gatorgradcare)
