Costs and Financial Support
Financial Support
A limited number of the most competitive students who apply each year for the full-time program option will be considered for financial support by the Applied Clinical Research PhD program. If selected, financial support will include tuition, fees, health insurance, and an annual stipend of $37,000 for the first year of study in the program. In subsequent years, tuition, fees, and a stipend are paid from research grants awarded to the student’s dissertation mentor or from a source identified by the School of Health Professions Office of the Dean.
Students who are not selected for financial support prior to admission are responsible for payment of all tuition and fees and no stipend is provided to them.
Health Insurance
All students are required to carry health insurance in addition to other academic costs. For students who are receiving financial support in the Ph.D. program, health insurance will be paid by the School of Health Professions during the first year of the program. In subsequent years, students’ insurance will be covered through dissertation mentors or from a source identified by the School of Health Professions Office of the Dean.
Students are required to provide proof of coverage if covered by a parent or spouse’s policy. The University of Texas System offers affordable Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance and family health insurance coverage is available if students wish to purchase at their expense during any benefits enrollment period.
