Student Financial Support at a Glance
Ph.D. students in the Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology Graduate Group are funded and supported in different ways; please see Graduate Studies' financial support page for further information. Our students are paid a minimum stipend of $40,000 per year as of October 1, 2024.
On admission, the Graduate Group commits to supporting new students with two quarters of full fellowship support, including in-state tuition, non-resident tuition (charged to non-US citizens who are not residents of California), health insurance if needed, and a stipend.
Once students have joined a major professor's laboratory, the faculty member commits to continuing that level of support, usually through employment as a Graduate Student Researcher.
