Fellowships
Graduate students are generally admitted with five years of financial support from the Graduate School, covering tuition and providing a substantial stipend. In addition, students usually apply for outside fellowships to do dissertation research abroad. Following the years of support from the Graduate School, students may apply for dissertation write-up funding from the East Asian Studies Program (see below). This funding is contingent on demonstrated progress toward the completion of the dissertation. Most students complete the Ph.D. program within six to eight years.
