Due to limited Departmental resources, not all students admitted to the Ph.D. graduate program in Cell & Neurobiology are awarded departmental fellowships that pay for tuition and provide a monthly stipend.

Students in the Department who have begun their dissertation research, but who do not have extramural fellowships, may be able to obtain research assistantships or training grants that provide tuition and competitive stipends.

TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS

Students in the M.S. program in Cell and Neurobiology are allowed to teach. There are a limited number of assistantships available from the Keck School of Medicine, through the Department of Cell and Neurobiology, for assisting in the laboratory instruction components of the medical curriculum courses. These are available for students dependent on their having achieved sufficient distinction in the relevant coursework to warrant their being considered to assist in the teaching of the course(s), and contingent on the need for teaching assistants as determined by the course instructors. In addition, students in the M.S. program in Cell and Neurobiology may avail themselves of additional teaching opportunities on the University Park campus and in other courses.
