We try to fund all our
Ph.D. students in the BCAN program. These funds are based on merit
and come from American University or personal grants. They cover full
tuition as well as a stipend of about $17,000, which includes a Teaching
Assistantship, or a fellowship of $10,000 to $12,000 without a Teaching Assistantship.
All funding is for four years. After four years, if needed, students
can apply for extended funding or find their own funding.
The criteria for being
eligible for funding are as follows: A GPA of 3.5 from an undergraduate
institution (or 3.75 from a graduate program) or a combined (verbal and quantitative) GRE score
of 1330 and Analytic GRE score of 5.5.
