Doctoral Program Funding and Research Support
Funding
Doctoral students receive significant funding to ensure that they are able to immerse themselves in the program. Funding for the first four years includes full tuition and fees. All admitted students are eligible to receive an $18,000 stipend in year one, and $15,000 each year in years two to four. Students in years five and beyond will receive an 82 percent tuition benefit.
Office of Grants and Research
In addition to institutional support, SSA students have been very successful in obtaining competitive fellowships (such as the CSWE Fellowships for Minority Students, Illinois Consortium for Educational Opportunity Program Fellowships, NIH Dissertation awards).
The SSA Office of Grants and Contract provides support in the following areas:
- Funding Opportunity Searches
- Proposal Planning and Development
- Central Administration/Sponsor Liaison
- Award Administration
- Financial Management/Coordination of Financial Reports to Sponsors
