Financial Support
Both teaching and research assistantships are available and carry waivers of tuition. Teaching assistantships are available through participating Departments; for 2005-2006 the base stipend is $1377/month for the academic year. Summer support for teaching assistantships may be provided by research assistantships, available through individual faculty members holding research grants. In addition, some 12 month research assistantships are available. Graduate School Fellowships are available on a highly competitive basis; prospective students must be nominated for these by the program, rather than applying directly. Applications must be completed by early January if a Graduate School Fellowship nomination is sought.
Financial support is also available through the University of Minnesota/EPA Cooperative Training Partnership in Aquatic Toxicology and Ecosystem Research.
