Ph.D. Funding & Fellowships

Admitted doctoral students receive up to five years of guaranteed financial support. We encourage Ph.D. applicants to maximize funding sources.

Cost of Attendance

We understand that all applicants must make an informed decision before selecting an academic institution for study. Our graduates benefit from strong placement rates—95% within 12 months of graduation—and diverse career outcomes. Providence's modest cost of living makes it an attractive option for balancing the cost of education.

Graduate tuition is billed on a per-class basis, as detailed in the Graduate Tuition and Fee Schedule on Brown University's Bursar Office’s website.

Brown's Graduate School offers incoming doctoral students five years of guaranteed financial support, including a stipend, tuition remission, health-services fee, and health- and dental-insurance subsidies. This support — which may take the form of a teaching assistantship, research assistantship, fellowship, or proctorship — helps to defray the cost of tuition, and also provides a stipend to assist with living expenses during the student’s program.

The School of Public Health supports two undergraduate concentrations: Public Health (A.B.) and Statistics (Sc.B.).

Students should consult the Brown University Bursar's Office for information for annual undergraduate tuition rates.
