Overview
The University of Miami (UM) Fellowship is one of the highest awards offered by the Graduate School. Effective for the 2024-2025 academic year, the University of Miami Fellowship carries with it a stipend in the amount of $39,000 per academic year (for total stipend support in the amount of $78,000). The Fellow's department may provide multi-year additional support in the form of a Graduate Student Assistantship which may entail some combination of teaching support (a Teaching Assistantship) or working on a research project (a Research Assistantship). The student must be enrolled at the University of Miami as a full-time student during the years the student is supported by the UM Fellowship.
Additionally, UM Fellows receive a 100% healthcare subsidy (for years covered by the UM Fellowship) when the Fellow purchases the student health insurance offered through the University of Miami Student Health Center. Visit www.miami.edu/student-health for additional information. Please note that Fellows must inform the Graduate School of their intent to use the 100% subsidy prior to the first day of the Fall semester.
In addition to the stipend and benefits listed above, the financial assistance package includes a full tuition waiver to cover the cost of the Fellow's course work in the program and it is provided to the Fellow by their department. This tuition waiver is renewable annually for up to five years, conditional upon academic progress.
