Navigating the maze of graduate student funding can be a daunting task. Knowing where to begin is half the battle. This website is designed to get you started as you explore your funding options. Whether you are looking for a teaching or research assistantship, hourly paid employment, fellowships or grants, or a student loan, this site is designed to point you to the internal as well as external resources to guide your inquiry.

Of special note, The University of Chicago heavily subsidizes doctoral students in the following divisions: Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Humanities, Divinity, and Social Sciences. See the Graduate Aid Initiative page for more information.

Doctoral students in other programs may also qualify for funding through the University and are strongly encouraged to inquire within their academic unit or with Graduate Student Affairs. Of particular interest to international students, the Office of International Affairs has also created a website specifically highlighting financial resources for international students.
