Tuition and Scholarships Clinical and Health Psychology College of Public Health and Health Professions

Almost all funded grants administered by the department support graduate students as research assistants. In the absence of such funding, the Department often can offer first-year students a 1 3-time departmental assistantship. A limited number of Fellowships (Alumni Fellowship, Presidential Fellowship) may be available to qualified students.

At the present time, the department and its collaborating units support 100% of its active graduate students seeking funding through fellowships or assistantships. Most of these students are funded by federal grants or clinical training monies, though some have been assigned clinical or research duties in other departments or agencies, and others have succeeded in securing their own support through competitive review at the local and national level.

Fellowships for minority students may be awarded from different sources:.

The McKnight Doctoral Fellowship may be awarded to African American and Hispanic students newly admitted into selected doctoral degree programs at universities in the State of Florida. The stipend is $12,000 for 12 months. In addition, the fellowship pays for tuition and fees, and all allowance for health insurance, computer equipment, books, and supplies up to $5,000 annually. The fellowship may be funded for a maximum of 5 years. African Americans and Hispanics who are U.S. citizens are eligible.
