Financial Support

The department typically supports all full-time Ph.D. students and a limited number of qualified M.S. students. Beginning graduate students who wish to be considered for financial support should supply all application materials by February 1 for fellowships and March 1 for assistantships. Available types of financial support include university fellowships, graduate teaching assistantships, and research assistantships. Fellowships and assistantships carry stipends up to $21,100 for 12 months, plus tuition waivers and health insurance.

Deadlines for Applications

Beginning graduate students who wish to be considered for financial support should supply all application materials by February 1 for fellowships and March 1 for assistantships. The deadline for all international students is February 1 for fall admission. For U.S. applicants not seeking financial support, the deadline is May 1 for fall admission. The deadline for Spring admission is September 1; however, not all programs will accept applications for Spring admission. Email grad-program@math.iupui.edu for more information before applying for Spring admission.
