PhD students admitted to LSA programs typically receive a 5 year funding package from their department upon admission. Funding packages may include fellowships, teaching (GSI) appointments, or other department-level funding. Funding packages also include health & dental insurance for students and their dependents.
Master’s students admitted to LSA programs do not typically receive funding packages from their department. Those offered admission are responsible for determining and paying the cost of attendance and cost of living at UM. Admitted master’s students are able to apply for temp/hourly positions at the university, and highly qualified individuals may be eligible to apply for a graduate student assistantship. For information on available positions, visit the Careers website.
Rackham provides additional funding opportunities for graduate students that range from large competitive fellowships that pay tuition and stipends, to targeted grants that assist with foreign language study, dissertation research, and conference travel, to emergency grants and awards designed to help students manage student loan debt.
Visit the Rackham website to learn more about these funding opportunities.
