PhD Financial Assistance

Tuition and Financial Aid

Students accepted into the Robotics Doctoral Program are awarded a Graduate Fellowship for each academic year until graduation. The fellowship award is renewed as long as the student maintains good standing in the program. It is not necessary to request financial aid.

The Graduate Fellowship includes tuition, activity fees, and a stipend. Any student whose spouse earns less than $200 per month is eligible to receive a supplemental stipend.

Students are encouraged to apply for support from outside Carnegie Mellon (fellowships, foreign government grants, etc.). Finaid is an excellent place to begin a search for additional support. Also, see the Fellowship Resource Advising Center. As an incentive to seek funding from other sources, we award a supplemental stipend to any student who pursues and obtains external funding.
