The Computational Biology Faculty Research Award provides students with a GRA.
In-State Students:
(based on 2019-2020 rates)
GRA awards pay for the “regular” portion of your graduate tuition. For in-state students, regular tuition is $7032 per semester. Since MSBINF is a differential program, our total in-state tuition and fees are $8259 per semester. So with the GRA waiver, you still have $1227 in tuition per semester. Plus you have student fees of $1012 and health insurance of $263 (based on fall 2019 rates). The remaining student-paid tuition and fees are $2502 per semester while on GRA.
Out of State Students:
(based on 2019-2020 rates)
GRA awards pay for the “regular” portion of your graduate tuition. For out-of-state students, regular tuition is $14,570 per semester. The total tuition for MSBINF is $18,345 per semester. MS BINF GRA students are responsible for differential tuition of $3775, plus $1012 in fees and $263 in health insurance. This is a total of $5050 for semesters you receive the award.
Stipend:
MSBINF GRA students are paid the non-thesis GRA rate of $978 per month. Work and pay dates are aligned with the first and last day of class for the semester a student is funded.
