There is no remission of student fees or other expenses, however, nor is there tuition remission if students take more than 9 credits of coursework in the fall and spring terms or more than 6 hours in a summer term. Student funding information: The clinical psychology program supports its students from the following sources: (a) university Merit and Diversity fellowships; (b) departmental teaching and research assistantships; (c) clinical assistantships (funding from community-based practicum training contracts); and (d) extramural research grants. Historically, we have been able to provide every student funding through the first four years of graduate study, and sometimes beyond. Departmental assistantships typically require 50% effort (20 hours/week) and currently provide a 9-month stipend of approximately $15,000. University Merit and Diversity fellowships provide additional funding and resources for students receiving these competitive awards. These are described in detail here.
