The Graduate School offers incoming doctoral students five years of guaranteed financial support, including a stipend, tuition remission, a health-services fee and a health-insurance subsidy. Students who are accepted to the PhD program will be offered a University fellowship for their first year and a half at Brown. Subsequent years may be funded by teaching assistantships, research assistantships or grants from outside sources. No support is provided for students at the master’s level.
Visit the Brown Graduate School website for more information about financial support.
The decision to pursue graduate study represents a significant commitment of time, energy, and resources — yours and ours.
For students who cannot easily come to Brown to find housing before the start of their first year, Brown offers limited housing for first year graduate students (only for the first year). After the first year, these students must find off-campus housing. Most students do so even in their first year. Many graduate students rent apartments in residential areas immediately surrounding the Brown campus. Rents are lower in areas farther from campus. Rhode Island public buses are free to Brown students, faculty and staff with a Brown ID. Brown also operates a variety of free shuttle services and free access to Rhode Island's transit system RIPTA. These services make apartments farther from campus more accessible. More information about housing for graduate students can be found on the Brown Graduate Housing website.
Student’s health insurance fees are covered by Brown University and the Division of Biology and Medicine. Visit the Brown Graduate School website to learn more about health insurance at Brown.
