PhD Financial Assistance

Mortar, Diploma, and CashStudents admitted as prospective candidates in full time study are generally offered a research assistantship that provides a stipend of approximately $12,000 over two semesters, plus a tuition reduction to $25 (students will still be subject to activity fees of approximately $600). The research assistantship requires the PhD student to work 13 hours a week with an assigned faculty member on a research project. In the second and subsequent years of study, students may apply for various teaching, graduate, and/or research assistantships, which provide equivalent stipends and tuition waivers, on a semester-by-semester basis. Historically the UGA School of Social Work has an exemplary record of providing financial support to students.

Students selecting the part-time option are not eligible to receive School of Social Work research assistantships or Graduate School assistantships. The required number of enrolled semester hours for an assistantship is 12 hours each fall and spring semester and 9 hours during the summer semester.
