Funds may be provided in a number of different ways, including university-sponsored fellowships, research and teaching assistantships, graduate instructorships, Veteran's Administration training stipends, and part-time clinical and research positions in the community. Graduate students also receive an 80% subsidy of the cost of their health insurance.

kevin hawley memorial award
Kevin Hawley was a graduate student in our department from 1985-1992 who sadly passed away in 1994 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Those students fortunate enough to know Kevin, remember him as an exceptional scholar, a warm friend, and an inspiration to all. Kevin was a productive and innovative student with broad academic interests. He was also the type of student who willingly shared his expertise and experience with others. Not only was he regarded as an essential academic resource, but students suffering from school and/or existential angst often solicited Kevin's wise advice, support and humor. As a result of his scholastic excellence, generous service to others, congenial temperament, inspirational fortitude in the face of adversity, and general zest for life, Kevin acquired the utmost respect and gratitude of the entire student population. With this in mind, the annual Kevin Hawley Memorial Award for the most esteemed graduate student as voted on by the graduate student body has been established.Download Application
