First-year students receive听the University First-Year Fellowship听in Natural Sciences & Engineering, plus full tuition and student health plan coverage.听A select few are awarded special fellowships, which provide a supplement or prize to their base amount. All first-years are exempt from grading and teaching.

Second-, third- and fourth-year (and fifth-year) students are expected to grade or teach each semester and are paid as half Teaching Assistant (TA) and half Research Assistant (RA).听Students are encouraged to apply for external funding. If听a student is awarded an external fellowship that also pays stipend听and tuition, they would be听exempt from having any grading/teaching duties unless required for a teaching recommendation needed for most postdoctoral applications.
