Funding
We are pleased to offer PhD students a generous annual stipend, tuition and fee waiver and health insurance for the duration of the program. Students can focus on their research, coursework and developing professional skills. Additionally, Worcester’s affordable cost of living means the stipend goes far. For MSCI students, a limited number of scholarships may be available from the Center for Clinical and Translational Science.
