Tuition Scholarships and Stipends
-
Students accepted into the UACOM-T MSTP program are guaranteed financial support for the duration of their studies subject to good standing in the program.
-
During the MD years, students receive full support from either the NIH or the College of Medicine, including a stipend and full tuition coverage. Throughout the PhD years, support is provided by your chosen Principal Investigator (PI) as part of a Graduate Assistantship, which covers tuition, health insurance, and a stipend. This means students pay no tuition for the entirety of their MD and PhD training.
-
The current yearly stipend level is $32,500 during the medical years and is similar throughout graduate school training. Student stipends may vary slightly during graduate school depending on the funding source and department.
Student Health Insurance

Health insurance coverage during the PhD years, will need to be discussed and arranged with the student’s faculty advisor and graduate department. Typically, the student health plan is fully funded during graduate school years.
