Graduate Financial Aid & Awards

We strive to ensure our doctoral students have the financial support needed to pursue innovative research both on and off campus. We provide tuition waivers, stipends and grants for our graduate students, who can supplement this support with additional aid through DU's University Graduate Fellowship and Inclusive Excellence Awards.

Health insurance: The University pays for health insurance for all full-time students in years 1–4.
