Tuition depends on the units taken by the student. In addition to tuition expenses, the cost of attendance of a PhD program involves living expenses such as rent, food, and transportation. The sum of tuition and non-tuition expenses constitutes the standard cost of attendance.
As you consider applying to graduate school, you can use the standard cost of attendance of your program —plus any additional expenses you might have—to create your financial plan, keeping in mind that tuition and non-tuition expenses of the standard cost of attendance are set by the university on an annual basis.
What you can do now to prepare financially if admitted
Once PhD students matriculate, the GSE has a variety of resources available to support academic work and unanticipated needs.
Students are eligible for up to three travel fellowships during their time at GSE if they are attending a conference or other professional development opportunity.
GSE Student Emergency Fund assists graduate students who experience a financial emergency or unanticipated expenses causing financial hardship. This fund is meant to support those who cannot reasonably resolve their financial difficulty through fellowships, loans, or personal resources.
GSE Dissertation Support Grants help advanced PhD students who require additional financial support for dissertation research activities. These grants, available at up to $6,500 total per student, are available to students who do not have access to other funds to cover their dissertation costs.
Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS) program aims to prepare the next generation of global leaders to address the increasingly complex challenges facing the world. The program selects up to 100 students each year and provides three years of financial support that is integrated into the GSE’s funding package for PhD students.
Vice Provost for Graduate Education awards various fellowships for doctoral students and maintains a list of other Stanford fellowships that students may consider.
Cardinal Care subsidy is an automatic university-wide subsidy program for graduate students. Vaden Health Center manages the university’s Cardinal Care student health insurance.
Stanford Financial Aid Office oversees a number of financial support programs specifically for graduate students with challenging financial situations.
Additional hourly work is available to students who wish to work for pay as "casual labor" at Stanford up to eight hours a week, provided work does not adversely affect the academic program. Requires approval from the student’s advisor and the Academic Services team.
External fellowships are integrated into the GSE’s funding package. There are many funding opportunities offered outside of Stanford. The GSE admissions team has compiled an external fellowships and grants document for you to explore, though you should plan to do your own research as well. International students can find additional sources of funding on the Institute of International Education’s (IIE) Funding for U.S. Study website and this publication .
Stanford is committed to providing benefits through the Yellow Ribbon Program of the Post-9/11 GI Bill® to students in degree-seeking programs. GSE students who qualify for Chapter 33 benefits at the 100% level may be eligible for additional funding through the Yellow Ribbon Program. Please note that for GSE students receiving tuition fellowship funding, the Yellow Ribbon match may reduce and in some cases replace institutional grants and scholarships. For instructions, visit the page, Activate VA Education Benefits at Stanford .
International students are guaranteed the same funding package as domestic students. However, there may be restrictions regarding the number of hours and opportunities to work during the summer months. To learn more, please contact the Bechtel International Center .
To meet immigration regulations, international students must show proof of adequate financial support to cover the length of time of their graduate program. While international students are not eligible for U.S. federal loan programs, they may qualify for private/alternative loans. Many lenders, however, require that a U.S. citizen or permanent resident co-sign the loan. You can find information and tools to help you choose private loan programs most frequently used by Stanford students here. A comprehensive list of private loan programs is available at FinAid.org .

The real cost of grad school in the us, nearly everyone gets funding, but the financial demands of getting a phd can catch some off guard, by wynne parry, special to c&en, november 2, 2021 | a version of this story appeared in volume 99, issue 41.
Graduate school has a reputation of being difficult, but when Nyesa Enakaya moved to Washington, DC, to start her PhD in chemistry at Howard University, she found the pressures were more than academic. Nearly all chemistry PhD programs come with a guaranteed income, but for some students, the money goes only so far.
Enakaya started in a stronger position than many. Not only was she debt-free, but she had savings, and with her parents’ help she made a down payment on a condo near her new institution. Together, her monthly mortgage and homeowners’ association (HOA) fees cost less than renting in the area. This arrangement will also make it possible for her to sell when she graduates.
Her 9-month teaching assistant’s salary of $20,000 sounded like a lot at first, even though it’s less than the average chemistry stipend of $26,000. But as her first school year began, it became clear that her monthly paychecks amounted to roughly the same amount as her mortgage, HOA fees, and utility costs. She had little to nothing left over for all the expenses that typically accompany graduate school, such as health insurance, fees charged by the school, and, of course, food, let alone anything unexpected.
“I just saw my bank account draining,” says Enakaya, now in her fifth year at Howard. “I wasn’t making enough money to support myself, and I was losing all of my savings.”
In chemistry and closely related fields, PhD students almost always receive financial support to cover the cost of their tuition and their living expenses. That’s not true of those in chemistry master’s programs or many who pursue degrees in other areas, such as the humanities and medicine, for which funding is much less consistent. Even so, PhD student stipends in chemistry are never lavish.
While many manage just fine, others quickly learn that their stipends cover much less than they expect or need. Routine costs, including taxes and health insurance, add up quickly. A high cost of living, as in a place like the District of Columbia, undergraduate debt, and unforeseen expenses can all contribute to a financial shortfall and the stress and frustration that accompany it.
However, not everyone struggles. Overall, funding appears to meet students’ needs more often than not. In an American Chemical Society survey conducted in 2019, 62% of US graduate students in the chemical sciences said their financial support was adequate, a decrease of roughly 7 percentage points from 2013.
Amrit Venkatesh says the financial package for his chemistry PhD at Iowa State University, which included a stipend that reached $26,600, seemed reasonably well matched to the cost of living in Ames, Iowa. “I would definitely not call it underpaid,” he says.
After he finished his master’s degree in his native India, Venkatesh at first didn’t seriously consider going to the US for a PhD. He wanted to take time to consider his options, and he assumed that programs in the US would be too expensive for him to afford. After deciding to pursue a PhD in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, he began looking for a strong program. In the process, he learned that the school that would become his top pick, Iowa State, offered a stipend that he believed he could live on. “I only applied after I was convinced I could make it work,” he says.
Before starting a PhD program
Talk to current or recent grad students
When undergraduates give Sarah Goh, a professor of chemistry at Williams College, lists of programs that interest them, she connects them with Williams alums. “I will say, OK, so email these six people and ask them what the program is like and what their life is like.”
Learn about loans
Payments on many, but not all, student loans can be deferred while you’re in graduate school. Federally subsidized loans are the only ones that won’t accrue interest while you are in a grad program, says Ryan Stuart, a family life and finance educator at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Compared with undergrads, grad students pay higher interest rates and are more likely to encounter lifetime borrowing limits.
Ask yourself whether you can afford to live there
When you are close to selecting a program, draft a detailed budget tailored to your individual needs and the local cost of living, says Emily Roberts, owner of Personal Finance for PhDs. As part of your research, ask current students if the stipend is livable, she says.
Prepare yourself
Before you start your program, Roberts recommends paying down any credit card or other debt and establishing a cash reserve to keep you afloat, in case it takes some time to get your first paycheck. If you anticipate needing additional income and think you’ll have the time, energy, and freedom, she recommends establishing a side job before you start your program.
Talk to fellow grad students
Your colleagues are the “biggest encyclopedia for budgeting finances,” says Katie Johnson, a recent PhD graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno. “The graduate students that have been there for 2, 3, 4 years, they already know how to do it,” she says. Not only do other students know where to find the cheapest rent and phone bill, but they also may become your roommates.
Make a spending plan (aka budget)
“There is literally no way to figure out if you can survive on any amount of income if you don’t have a plan in place,” says Stuart, who finds that people are generally more receptive to the prospect of making a “plan” versus a “budget.” He recommends using PowerPay’s free online planning tools.
Rightsize your housing
Financial experts typically recommend spending no more than 30% of your monthly income on housing. If that share creeps up much higher, “that is a big red warning flag that you need to do the best you absolutely can to downgrade your housing costs,” Roberts says. That can mean getting a roommate or moving, if feasible.
Establish an emergency fund
Whether it’s a car accident or a last-minute trip home, unexpected expenses come up. Stuart recommends that students put aside at least $400 just in case. If you can manage $1,000, all the better; if not, aim to build up to that amount. Once you have a more regular, stable income, try to set aside 3 to 6 months’ worth of expenses, he says.
Start saving now
You may have a hard time imagining retirement right now, but Stuart and others recommend that you start putting something aside for it. Thanks to compounding interest, “even little amounts over longer periods of time are going to be much higher in the long run,” he says.
While US chemistry graduate students can receive funding from a number of sources, for most students, the institution where they study provides a stipend as compensation for teaching or research. To keep students focused, some institutions discourage or even forbid them from taking on outside jobs.
On average, US schools pay $26,814 for doctoral students working as research assistants and $26,082 for their counterparts working as teaching assistants, according to another ACS survey in 2019, this one of chemistry programs. These numbers, however, obscure enormous variation between both programs and students, who sometimes receive funding from additional sources, such as certain fellowships.
In spring 2014, after struggling to find accurate and up-to-date stipend information online, Emily Roberts launched the PhD Stipend Survey , which now has almost 11,000 entries. The results aren’t perfect—a few entries list unbelievably high amounts—but the survey is the closest thing to a clearinghouse for PhD stipends.
Roberts, who holds a PhD in biomedical engineering, cautions that a dollar amount on its own is meaningless. “Without putting that stipend in the context of the local cost of living, you really don’t yet have any idea of whether that stipend can pay even for basic living expenses,” says Roberts, now the owner of Personal Finance for PhDs .
To account for the cost of living, her survey uses data from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Living Wage Calculator for a single person with no dependents to calculate a living-wage ratio. A ratio less than 1 raises “a red flag,” Roberts says.
Housing, in particular, can strangle students’ finances. The high cost of living near the University of California, Santa Cruz, drove graduate students at this institution to strike in December 2019. They demanded a $1,412 per month raise, an increase they calculated would allow students to spend less than 30% of their pretax income on rent, the proportion recommended by financial experts.
On July 1 of this year, Connor Brandenburg, an organic chemistry student at UC San Diego, got a raise that brought his finances nearly in line with this rule. After his department increased students’ stipends from $31,000 to $34,000 per year, his rent—$897 a month for a studio in university-run housing—accounted for about 32% of his pretax income.
But, within a year and a half, this share may grow substantially. In April 2023, he will have exhausted the 2 years of on-campus housing the university allotted him as a graduate student. Off-campus rents for a comparable studio can run up to $1,700, Brandenburg says, so he’s planning to downgrade.
“I’m 24. I don’t necessarily want to share a room with someone anymore, [but] financially, that may be my only option,” he says.
In addition to rent, graduate students face an expense familiar to undergraduates: fees, which some institutions levy separately from tuition. Like so much else, fees can vary considerably between schools.
This fall, the bill for graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology amounted to as much as $1,097 for 10 fees , which include money to fund student organizations, transportation services on campus, and a general-purpose “special institutional” fee.
Most of these charges are recommended by the school’s president and set by the Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia, which includes Georgia Tech. The largest of these fees, the special institutional fee, is an exception. The board instituted it in 2009, at first temporarily, to compensate for state budget cuts. But funding reductions remained in place and so did the fee, growing from $100 to $344 for graduate students.
While Georgia taxpayers may benefit from this shift, the accumulating fees make a difficult situation worse for Krista Bullard, a fifth-year PhD student in chemistry and biochemistry at Georgia Tech. Through a fellowship at the school’s Renewable Bioproducts Institute, Bullard earns $29,000 a year, an amount that she has found doesn’t match the cost of living in Atlanta.
“I have my parents’ car. They pay my car insurance; they pay for my phone,” she says. “I don’t think I could do it on my own.”
Like many other students, she has loans from her undergraduate degree, which add to the financial pressure. The end may be in sight, however, because she plans to graduate in May.
“I’m really pushing for that, mostly because I really can’t afford to stay any longer,” she says.
Fees typically don’t include another common cost: health insurance. Some institutions, including Georgia Tech, require students to purchase plans offered through the school or prove they have comparable coverage. But some programs provide free coverage.
Roughly a year after finishing his PhD, Venkatesh says his financial experience turned out “about the same as what I expected.” That doesn’t mean it was easy. Like many other students, he made the money work through a combination of hard work, self-discipline, and, on occasion, painful trade-offs.
After moving from India, Venkatesh faced a distinct set of financial challenges: he needed to send money back home to his family and, after he got married at the end of his first year, to support his wife, whose visa restrictions severely limited her options for earning income in the US. Tight finances, as well as the demanding work culture of American academia, contributed to the most difficult part of his entire PhD experience: traveling home only twice.
Together, he and his wife carefully managed their money, and Venkatesh figured out a way to supplement his stipend. While at Iowa State, he earned a series of academic honors—fellowships, scholarships, and a prize for research publications—that brought in between $1,000 and $10,000 after each year of his program.
“I have seen graduate students who manage the stipend significantly better than even I did,” he says. “But there were also students who might say the exact opposite, who were really struggling from month to month.”
In contrast, Enakaya’s expectations of living on her stipend evaporated after she started her program at Howard. At first she made do by using her savings and credit cards. She also found work tutoring and teaching, as well as paid summer internships, and her adviser provides her with some additional funding for her research. Her success lining up outside income, however, has come at a cost.
Over the most recent summer, for example, she interned at Brookhaven National Laboratory while teaching biochemistry and a Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) prep course virtually. For 12 weeks, this arrangement kept her away from her research lab at Howard, where she had originally intended to focus her time and energy.
“Going into Howard, I truly didn’t believe that I would have to be taking internships, that I would have to be getting extra jobs,” she says.
The financial prospects for future Howard students may improve, at least to a degree. By 2023, the university plans to increase the 9-month teaching assistant stipend in chemistry and other departments by 20%, to $24,000, according to Dana Williams, dean of Howard’s Graduate School. This decision was based on the cost of living in the DC area, she says in an email.
Others besides teaching assistants may benefit too. Although funded by faculty members’ grants, research assistant stipends match those of teaching assistants and will likely increase too, according to Hua Zhao, the chair of Howard’s Chemistry Department.
The raise would bring Howard’s stipend more in line, although not quite on par, with funding offered to PhD students in chemistry at other DC institutions. Georgetown University and George Washington University both offer full-year support, versus Howard’s 9 months, of more than $35,000.
Looking back, Enakaya says that even if she had fully understood the financial picture, and the prospect of a larger stipend elsewhere, she would not have reconsidered her decision to go to Howard.
“I wanted to go to an HBCU [historically Black college or university]. I want to be surrounded by people that I know support and love me and really want to help me grow not just as a chemist, but as a Black chemist,” she says. “I want to learn from the faculty here, because they’ve had similar stories and similar experiences as me.”
When told her scramble to make the money work sounded stressful, Enakaya says: “Graduate school is stressful. We make it work. We definitely make it work.”

All PhD students at Yale are fully funded. On average, doctoral students at Yale receive more than $500,000 in tuition fellowships, stipends, and health care benefits over the course of their enrollment. Some terminal Master's degree students also receive funding.
Tuition for full-time study at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in the academic year 2024-2025 is $49,500.
More information on Tuition & Fees is available in our Programs & Policies handbook. Please note that we do not charge many of the fees common to other schools (e.g., technology fee, library fee, gym fee, student activities fee).
See Student Accounts for billing and payment inquiries.
All PhD students at Yale receive the following financial award, typically for a minimum of five years:
Additionally, a Dean's Emergency Fund is available to help students with eligible, unanticipated emergency expenses. In some cases, the Continuing Registration Fee for advanced PhD students is also covered by the Graduate School.
Most PhD students complete their degrees without incurring debt.
Most students pursuing Master's degrees do not receive financial support from the Graduate School and are responsible for paying tuition, but some programs offer limited funding. Please check with the program that interests you for more information.
All Master's students registered at least half time receive Student Basic Coverage at Yale Health. You are also eligible to purchase Hospitalization and Specialty Care coverage at a group rate through the university.
Many of our students win external fellowships and grants. See our External Fellowships & Awards page for more information on how an external award will affect your Yale funding.
Some students choose to take loans, participate in work-study programs, or engage in part-time employment to supplement their funding while in Graduate School. More information is available on Other Means of Financing Graduate Education .
To ensure that our financial aid package provides enough support to enable you to live in New Haven and study full time, we developed a cost-of-living guide (see below). The Office of Financial Aid also uses these calculations to determine financial need as required by certain funding sources and for immigration processes.
Estimated average living expenses include housing and food, transportation, personal and academic expenses (excluding tuition), and hospitalization coverage and specialty care. Expenses for doctoral students may actually be less than the estimate below, since PhD financial packages cover the full cost of single-student hospitalization and specialty care coverage in the Yale Health Plan, as well as half the cost of two-person coverage (for spouses and partners), and the full cost to cover children.
Costs | Monthly | 9 Months | 12 Months |
---|---|---|---|
Housing and Food | $2,313 | $20,820 | $27,761 |
Academic | $160 | $1,440 | $1,440 |

How much does a phd cost, published by steve tippins on february 1, 2019 february 1, 2019.
Last Updated on: 6th June 2024, 01:36 am
Many people have dreams of getting a PhD and returning to the classroom to guide young students. Others want to complete a doctorate to embark on a career of cutting-edge research.
These are admirable reasons to embark on the road towards getting a PhD. However, it’s important to consider the cost of a PhD before embarking on this journey. How much does a PhD cost? And more importantly, is it worth the price?
The average time it takes to complete a PhD is just over 8 years. That’s right, 8 years. The average cost of a PhD program is $30,000 per year, which comes to a grand total of $240,000 over the course of eight years. Almost a quarter of a million dollars.
Of course, this is just the average cost of a PhD–chances are your specific program will cost either more or less, and you might not take as long to finish. Then again, you might take longer. So, these are just estimates. You may be able to come up with a more accurate estimate by looking at your specific program and field. But no matter the details, it is vital to consider how much money you’ll actually be spending and whether it’s worth the investment.
However, when considering the cost of a PhD, tuition is just the beginning. If you only look at the price tag without considering the hidden costs, you may be in for a rough few years. In order to fully answer the question, “How much does a PhD cost,” we have to look at some other factors as well.
There are more costs than just dollars and cents when pursuing anything, and a PhD is no exception. Here are some of the hidden costs to be aware of when considering the cost of a PhD.
Eight years is a long time. Even three years is a substantial time investment. Getting a doctoral degree means that you will be investing a great deal of time into this quest. Before you begin, remember that you can only be in one place at a time so you will inevitably miss out on other opportunities. What do you spend your time on now? Consider whether you’re willing to give that up for the most part for a few years.
If you go to graduate school full-time you most likely will not be able to hold down a full-time job. That means that your career will be put on hold. If you go to graduate school part-time you can still keep your job but the demands of graduate school may mean that you might miss potential promotions.
The demands of a graduate program are substantial. There are classes and then there is homework. It is not like in undergraduate school where you might have been able to dash off a homework assignment 15 minutes before class. In graduate school you are expected to provide thoughtful and considered submissions. This can take a great deal of time.
This time commitment may mean missing events with your family and friends . I have seen many cases where a graduate student attends a soccer game or dance recital with her/his laptop and works on an assignment through the entire event. They are there, but are they really present? Make sure that your family is on board with you getting your degree. Their support can be invaluable, but their lack of support could mean having to pay back debt for a degree you never finished, or worse yet, resentment from those you love the most.
If you do give up a career, you will lose that income. If you maintain your career, you may miss out on promotions and larger raises. This means lower income while in school. Recognize that there is no guarantee you will make this income back once you finish your degree. Depending on your field of study, you may actually make less money as a professor than you could at a professional job outside academia.
You may have a number of benefits at work. For example, a 401(k) with employer matching. If you are not working, you will lose both your contribution and any employer matches. If your income is diminished, your 401(k) contributions may be lower. This will not impact your current income but it may reduce your retirement income.
While your intention will obviously be to complete the program and get hooded at the end of the journey, the reality for 50% of those beginning a doctorate don’t finish . If you end up among them, will you regret beginning the program? How will you repay the student loans?
With all of those costs, there must be some reasons people go through the mental and financial hardship of getting a PhD. And of course there are. Here are a few.
On the bright side, at many schools PhD students go to school tuition free (at this point, tuition waivers are not considered income for tax purposes) and get small stipends to teach and help do research. This benefit can offset many of the costs, but you will find that these stipends do not allow for a lavish lifestyle. Many people in this position take out loans to cover living expenses.
If your ultimate career includes a full-time faculty job, then one of the benefits is a flexible schedule. Rarely do teaching faculty have to comply to a strict 9 to 5 schedule. Additionally, they get time off when students get time off. A flexible schedule can allow you to be more present in other areas of life, such as with your family. As a professor, I took the summers to spend time with family and explore the world. We bicycled through Northern France one summer and traveled to the Galapagos Islands another. These are experiences that I’ll always cherish.
There are also non-monetary benefits relating to creating a life of meaning. If you feel a sense of purpose in your job, you’ll have a happier daily existence than if you toil away at something that feels pointless. Since people with more education often get more control over their careers, the doctorate may enable more opportunities to find or create meaningful work.
Your getting a PhD might also be meaningful to those who know and love you. Will it serve your family or community to get a doctorate? How might your personal sacrifices be worth the effort, once you have achieved this goal on behalf of those you care about?
The dream of getting a PhD drives many to enroll before considering all of the costs. I urge you to consider all possible costs and benefits when considering a PhD program. If you decide to enroll in a PhD program, consider options that can help you finish your degree faster, saving you money in the long run.
Asking the question, “How much does a PhD Cost” should always be followed by a second question: “Why do I want to get a PhD?” It’s important to consider the amount of money you’d be spending and consider whether it’s worth the investment. What else could you do with a quarter million dollars? Start a business? Buy a home? Feed the hungry?
Your reasons for getting a PhD are where you’ll find the answer to whether it’s worth the cost. If you’re confident your research could contribute to advances in developing a cure for cancer and you want to contribute what you can no matter the cost, it may be worth spending the money to get a PhD. If you’re deeply passionate about a certain subject and feel it’s your life purpose to ignite the same passion in young minds, getting a PhD may be the perfect choice for you.
But if you’re doing it to get a promotion or a better job, you might be better off looking into other options. In these cases, a PhD may not be worth the cost.

Visiting Student Fees
The table below reflects standard graduate tuition rates for the 2023–2024 academic year (which are reviewed and likely to increase next year). Graduate programs in the MIT Sloan School of Management have their own tuition rates . Certain other graduate programs, such as the Real Estate Development master's program and the master's programs in Supply Chain Management, also employ “non-standard” tuition . Special students and visiting students should refer to the tuition and fee information specific to them.
Fee | Cost |
---|---|
Full regular graduate tuition (including graduate student staff), per term, fall and spring* | $29,875 |
Doctoral students approved for non-resident tuition, first three semesters† | $1,495 |
Doctoral students approved for non-resident tuition, subsequent semesters† | $4,480 |
Off-campus internship tuition | $10,455 |
*Full tuition in either term of the current year covers the January Independent Activities Period. | |
†Following completion of the nonresident period, the student must return to resident status for completion and presentation of the doctoral thesis. If the student requires only part of this first term back in residence to complete the thesis, the tuition will be adjusted subject to a minimum of $14,940. Consult Graduate Policies and Procedures for additional information on nonresident status. |
If the student was registered for thesis as a resident student in the immediately preceding term, regular or summer, tuition for thesis will be adjusted after acceptance by the department of the completed document on the basis of a charge of $2,485 per week from the starting date of the term, with a minimum of $2,485 for the master's or engineer's degree and $4,965 for the doctoral degree. If the immediately preceding term was the summer term and if the graduate student was not registered for thesis in that summer term, but was registered for thesis in residence in the previous second term, the minimum tuition for thesis is $14,940.

Special students are non-degree students who are taking classes at MIT for personal or professional reasons.
Students who are pursuing a degree at an institution of higher education other than MIT and have been invited by faculty in an MIT department, laboratory, or center to do research here may apply for visiting student status. Current regular or special MIT students, or MIT students who have withdrawn or are on a leave of absence, are not eligible.
Visiting students are subject to a monthly fee that includes registration, MIT's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) , and student life fees. The fee entitles visiting students to conduct research, use our fitness facilities, participate in student life programming, and have access to care at MIT Health. Full monthly fees are charged regardless of whether the student starts on the first or the 15th of the month. The total fee for the duration of their stay must be paid in full and in advance. Additional costs will be applied for those who wish to enroll family members in SHIP.
Fee | Cost |
---|---|
Processing fee (one time) | $1,000 |
Visiting student fee, includes registration, SHIP, and student life fees (monthly) | $600 |
Additional family medical coverage (optional)—Partner only (monthly) | $305 |
Additional family medical coverage (optional)—Dependents only (monthly) | $93 |
Additional family medical coverage (optional)—Partner and dependents combined (monthly) | $399 |
A student withdrawing before the start of a term is not charged any tuition for that term and any tuition payments previously made for that term will be refunded. Students withdrawing during the fall or spring term are charged one-twelfth of the stated tuition for the term for each week from the starting date of the term, with a minimum two-week charge. A student must pay full tuition and fees at the beginning of the term. Any subsequent reduction in fees is based on the date that cancellation of a subject or withdrawal from the Institute is effected. At that time, any excess payments which the student has made will be refunded.
All students pay a student life fee each term. Late registration or applications may result in additional fees. See the Academic Calendar for relevant dates and deadlines.

Very late registration | $100 |
Late application for non-resident doctoral status | $100 |
*Miscellaneous fees and processing charges are nonrefundable unless levied in error. |
A late change in registration , which requires a petition to the Office of Graduate Education, is defined as adding a subject after the fifth week or dropping a subject during the last three weeks of a term. The processing charge for late changes is $50. There is an additional charge of $50 for a retroactive change after the end of the term.
Payment of tuition entitles all regular and special students to receive many health care services at MIT Health at no charge. The MIT Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) covers hospitalization due to accidents or illness, along with other services and prescription medications, and meets the state’s requirement for comprehensive health insurance.
Enrollment in MIT SHIP is automatic for full-time students, unless they can demonstrate that they have comparable coverage through another insurance program, in which case they may submit an online request to waive coverage . Complete details on MIT SHIP are available on the MIT Medical website.
Updated rates for the MIT Student Insurance Plan can be found on the MIT Health website. Students can also purchase MIT SHIP coverage for family members, including partners and dependents. Refer to the Medical Requirements section for additional details or read more about the MIT Student Health Insurance Plan .
Graduate Payment of Tuition and Other Charges
An individual who registers as a student at MIT agrees to pay all charges on their account when due, and acknowledges that the Institute may charge a hold fee, suspend registration, revoke Institute services, and withhold the degree if these charges are not paid.
Student Financial Services (SFS) gathers, bills, and collects student charges and provides a student account statement of all activity. These charges originate in the offices from which the student receives Institute services. SFS bills by posting a monthly billing statement on MITPay —MIT's secure, online billing and payment system. The statement is posted on the 10th of the month and SFS sends students a monthly email reminder to check the statement and pay any balance due. The statement includes charges (e.g., tuition, fees, housing, and library fees), payments (financial aid, tuition awards), additional amounts due, and payment deadlines.
Payment in full or a satisfactory arrangement for payment is due by August 1 for the fall term and by January 1 for the spring term. New charges that occur after the initial statement will appear on a subsequent statement. If a student anticipates that they may not be able to pay the entire amount due by the term bill due date, they should consider the MIT Monthly Payment Plan.
The MIT Monthly Payment Plan allows students to pay their balance in monthly installments interest-free. The terms and conditions of the monthly payment plan are available on the SFS website. Enrollment can be accessed through MITPay.
SFS also offers information on federal student loan programs as additional options for eligible U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
A student who does not pay the balance due or make satisfactory arrangements for doing so will have a registration or degree hold placed, as well as being charged a hold fee of $100. The balance due, including the hold fee, must be paid in full before the hold can be released.
Notifications to Graduate Students with Unpaid Balances
In the fifth week of the term, SFS will reach out to graduate students who have an unpaid balance on their student account and who have not made satisfactory arrangements for payment of the balance. These students will be notified of MIT’s financial hold policy through the billing system as well as by email. SFS will send out a second reminder email and billing notification after the 11th week of the term, again notifying students of MIT’s financial hold policy.
Policy on Graduate Student Financial Holds and Other Actions
Graduate students who have not paid their prior term balances or made satisfactory arrangements to resolve their financial situation will not be allowed to register for subsequent terms, will not receive credit retroactively, will be charged a $100 hold fee, and may be restricted from Institute services. The student account must be paid in full before a degree can be awarded.
Student accounts unpaid after the student has left MIT for any reason may be reported to credit bureau agencies and/or sent to an outside collection agency and assessed additional fees on the outstanding balance.

In order to continue its delivery of a high-quality academic and campus experience for its students while managing costs and rising inflation, the University of Delaware has announced a 4% tuition increase in its undergraduate and graduate programs for the upcoming academic year.
In the 2024-25 academic year:
The University of Delaware continues to experience upward momentum in national ranking and recognition while also delivering exceptional academic and financial support for its students.
The University of Delaware ranks among the country’s best value propositions , according to U.S. News & World Report , the Wall Street Journal , and The Princeton Review . In addition, UD scored 4½ stars out of a possible five in Money magazine’s 2024-2025 rating of America’s best colleges. The University is recognized by Money as a public college providing an excellent value for in-state students , as well as among the Best Colleges in the Northeast .
In its commitment to offer an accessible and affordable education, UD makes substantial investments each year to provide students with competitive financial aid packages. Total undergraduate financial aid from UD has increased 68% since fiscal year 2018. Also, Delawareans pay 33% lower tuition thanks to the state of Delaware’s annual operating appropriation and additional support from UD.
What’s more, UD’s First State Promise aims to cover total tuition costs for Delaware-resident undergraduate students with family incomes of $75,000 or less. For the lowest-income students, the University also provides support for room, board and fees, while those above $75,000 may be eligible for partial aid.
During the 2023-24 academic year, First State Promise benefited about 2,300 Delawareans enrolled at UD—roughly a third of UD’s 6,800 in-state students. Of those students who received First State Promise funds, about two-thirds were also eligible for federal Pell grants, further assisting those with extreme financial need.
Interest in a UD education remains at an all-time high. For the seventh consecutive year, the University received a record number of first-year undergraduate student applications. Nearly 40,000 prospective undergraduate students (an increase of 50% since fall 2016) applied to UD for roughly 4,300 spots in fall 2024.
UD also maintains:
A 90% retention rate among first-year students who remain at UD into their second year.
A 73% four-year graduation rate, according to the National Center for Education Statistics IPEDS 2022-23 graduation rates survey — which is the sixth-best in the nation among large, primarily residential four-year public universities.
A 94% employment or continuing-education rate among students within six months of their graduation from UD.
Regarded for the high quality of its academic programs, the University of Delaware is ranked No. 76 by U.S. News & World Report among all universities and No. 36 among public universities. U.S. News placed six of UD’s undergraduate programs among the top 100 nationally in their fields, including a No. 5 ranking for chemical engineering . U.S. News placed nine of UD’s graduate programs among the top 100 nationally in their fields, including a No. 2 ranking for physical therapy . The Princeton Review placed the University’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program among the top 50 in the nation and among the best in the Mid-Atlantic region.
For details on approved undergraduate and graduate tuition rates, room and board and student fees, visit the Student Financial Services site at www.udel.edu/rates . Undergraduate students will receive notification in the coming weeks when their official billing and financial aid for the 2024-25 academic year is made available.

The state has a larger middle class proportionally than most other states, but housing costs are a big reason why people might not feel like they meet the label, a panel said..
(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Ballpark neighborhood in Salt Lake City, photographed on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, is one area of Salt Lake City that a report said has been hit particularly hard by gentrification. Family households have four jobs, on average, and the neighborhood has one of the lowest percentages of internet connectivity in the area.
This story is part of The Salt Lake Tribune’s ongoing commitment to identify solutions to Utah’s biggest challenges through the work of the Innovation Lab. [ Subscribe to our newsletter here ]
Utah has a larger middle class proportionally than most of the rest of the country, and that share has increased slightly in recent decades.
The Beehive State has a diverse middle class — including about half of the state’s population that identifies as Hispanic or Latino and more than 40% of every race group — that makes up about half of the state’s population, according to a fact sheet from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean people who make enough to qualify as part of the middle class feel the security traditionally linked with the label, panelists said Wednesday morning.
Housing is the biggest reason for that, said Bill Crim, president and CEO of the United Way of Salt Lake.
“Young people who grew up solidly middle class and maybe even have gone onto post-secondary education feel like and maybe legitimately don’t have much of a chance to buy a home and start to do the thing that provides an aspect of middle-class ability, which is asset accumulation,” Crim said during the panel discussion at the Gardner Institute in Salt Lake City.
The event focused on the middle class in Utah and was co-sponsored by The Salt Lake Tribune and Gardner, as part of their quarterly “Storytelling Through Data” conversation series.
Utah’s middle class has been “fairly stable,” said Levi Pace, a senior economist at the institute.
However, housing affordability could be a long-term “ticking time bomb” threatening that stability, Crim said.
Households throughout the community are overburdened by housing costs, said Christine Richman, the principal at GSBS Consulting , a firm working with the city to reenvision Smith’s Ballpark .
Those costs puts their housing and stability at risk if there is an unexpected health emergency, car repair or other major cost, she said.
If the state wants to continue having a strong middle class, panelists said, Utah policymakers need to work to build broad resiliency, give people opportunities to get people into post-secondary education and pull together to work to solve the state’s housing crisis.
Economists at Gardner blended two income-based approaches — a percentage of median household income and percentiles related to the federal poverty level — to define what incomes fall into the middle class.
Based on that, the institute defines middle class as a person making between $24,500 and $64,600, or a family of four with a household income between $70,700 and $166,400.
About half of Utahns — 1.6 million people — were in the middle class by that definition in 2022, according to the institute’s report. That was up from 1.3 million people in 2020.
But the proportion of Utahns making middle income is down from the start of the new millennium.
More than 51% of Utahns were middle class in 1980, and more than half made a middle income in 1990 and 2000. That dipped to 48.2% in 2010 and has been slowly increasing — to 48.9% in 2020 and 49.1% in 2022.
Utah’s rate of middle-class residents, while lower than in past decades, is still higher than the national rate of 45% and is among the top states, based on Gardner’s analysis.
A Business Insider study that used a different method to define “middle class” found 58.3% of Utah households were in the middle class. That was second in the country and only slightly behind South Dakota, with 58.7% of households.
The state’s middle-class population is diverse.
More than 40% of Utahns in each race group fall into the middle class, and half of Utahns who identify as Hispanic or Latino are in the middle-income group, according to the Gardner Institute analysis.
The fact sheet notes that while Utahns identifying as Hispanic or Latino have the highest portion of middle-class people, they also are overrepresented in the state’s lower class, along with Black and Native American residents.
Meanwhile, Utahns identifying as Asian and white with no Hispanic or Latino heritage have the highest shares in the upper-income category.
Though Utah’s diverse middle class is holding steady, some things could threaten that. Rising housing costs, for one.
A recent analysis by The Tribune of U.S. Census Bureau and real-estate industry data found that the average renter can only truly afford to buy a home in Beaver County. Even the highest middle-class salary for an individual — $64,600 — would only allow someone to buy a home in Emery and Beaver counties.
Richman said renters also are typically cost-burdened — meaning more than 30% of their income goes to housing.
That means parents working more jobs, she said, and kids who grow up less connected to their family.
“It seems to snowball from there, in terms of school performance,” Richman said.
As GSBS Consulting talks with people in the Ballpark neighborhood, Richman said, they hear again and again that people want their core needs for a happy life met:
Enough pay to cover basic expenses.
Time to spend with family and neighbors.
Opportunities to build relationships.
Health and the chance to get out into nature .
Respect within their community.
There are simple ways to solve some of those, she said, like creating green space where there aren’t parks and improving walkability in neighborhoods with connectivity issues.
Others — like “investing in opportunities for households to work at living-wage jobs” — will take more work.
Utah also needs to act like — not just say — it’s in a housing crisis and pull together to work on the problem, Richman and Crim said.
Everyone talks about the need for attainable housing, Richman said, but people end up pointing fingers at developers for making too much money, cities for not changing zoning or the Legislature for not passing housing policies.
Crim added that part of the problem is the Legislature “overwhelmingly” hears from people who are the most secure in their housing situation. They want the problem solved, he said, but they don’t want multi-family housing in their backyard .
Beyond coming together to solve the housing crisis, Utah policymakers also need to support teachers and schools to do their best work, Crim said.
That means not waiting for “data at the end of the year to tell us we didn’t make much progress,” he said, but instead monitoring the numbers monthly.
It also means setting children’s aspirations high early, he said.
The United Way of Salt Lake works to set a four-year degree as the goal for children in elementary school, Crim said, then start to individualize goals for students who might be better off getting a certificate or a two-year degree.
That’s key because Utahns with four-year degrees generally make more than their peers who didn’t graduate from college.
Crim said the state also needs to work to build broader resiliency, especially around health care.
Health care costs can hurt everyone, he said, and even people with coverage can go into debt and a downward spiral if they can’t afford their co-pay or deductible.
Richman suggested looking at how households survived the pandemic to see what things the state can do to help Utahns weather other issues.

Since his first day in office, President Biden has called on Congress to secure our border and address our broken immigration system. As Congressional Republicans have continued to put partisan politics ahead of national security – twice voting against the toughest and fairest set of reforms in decades – the President and his Administration have taken actions to secure the border, including:
President Biden believes that securing the border is essential. He also believes in expanding lawful pathways and keeping families together, and that immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, paying taxes and contributing to their communities, are part of the social fabric of our country. The Day One immigration reform plan that the President sent to Congress reflects both the need for a secure border and protections for the long-term undocumented. While Congress has failed to act on these reforms, the Biden-Harris Administration has worked to strengthen our lawful immigration system. In addition to vigorously defending the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals) policy, the Administration has extended Affordable Care Act coverage to DACA recipients and streamlined, expanded, and instituted new reunification programs so that families can stay together while they complete the immigration process. Still, there is more that we can do to bring peace of mind and stability to Americans living in mixed-status families as well as young people educated in this country, including Dreamers. That is why today, President Biden announced new actions for people who have been here many years to keep American families together and allow more young people to contribute to our economy.

Cost of PhD in USA. Students who wish to get admission to PhD courses in the USA must have enough funds to support their studies in the USA. Based on various top universities offering PhD courses, the total cost of study in the USA is around USD 70,573 to 1,26,163 (INR 58.47 lakhs to 10.45 million) including tuition fees and living costs. ...
On average, the total cost comes out to $40,900 per year, including tuition and living expenses.
