Stipend Levels

Stipend levels in the UMass SMS are flexible and competitive to address the wide range of disciplines addressed in our school. Our stipend levels recognize your need for adequate support during your course of study.

All students receiving a stipend will also receive a tuition waiver, but not necessarily a fee waiver.  In addition, UMass SMS offers partial stipend support.

It is imperative that prospective students take an active role in contacting faculty member(s) who could potentially advise them, as well as making an effort to seek funding before applying to SMS.  Additionally, SMS has a limited number of TA positions, so to be considered you must submit your applications before the deadline.
