PhD Funding Opportunities

Financial assistance is provided to all PhD students in the form of YSPH Fellowships, Teaching Fellowships, Traineeships and Research Assistantships. All admitted PhD students are guaranteed five years of 12-month stipend and tuition support. In addition to grants and fellowships for tuition and living costs, students receive a Health Award, which covers the full cost of single-student Yale Health Plan Hospitalization/Specialty Coverage.

Some of the sources of funding for PhD students within Public Health are:

Climate Change and Health
The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS Pre-Doctoral Training Program funded by NIMH
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Training Program in Health Services Research
YSPH Fellowships
Faculty Research Grants (varies by faculty)
