Scholarships

The Biology offers several Teaching Assistantships for MS and PhD students on a competitive basis.

The MS Teaching Assistantship includes a full tuition award, a 9-month stipend of $16,500, and 75% of student health insurance at TCU. The award is renewable for a second year, based on satisfactory performance in the first. The work load is no than 20 hours per week during the 9-month academic year, and most students are assigned to teach labs in either Introductory Biology I II (BIOL 10501 10511) or Contemporary Issues in Biology (BIOL 10003).

In addition, MS students may apply for a competitive internal award, the Adkins Fellowship, to provide $3,600 in summer stipend in support of their thesis research between the first and second year. For Ph.D. students, the Biology also offers a small number of Teaching Assistantships (full tuition award, a 12-month stipend of $20,000, and 75% of student health insurance at TCU) and one Green Fellowship that is awarded on a competitive base for a single year (full tuition award, a 12-month stipend of $20,000 with no teaching responsibilities, 75% of student health insurance at TCU).

Proposals will be evaluated by the committee, and funds will be awarded on a competitive basis to students with proposals deemed to contain the most scientific merit.
