| Biology Graduate Student Financial Support |
 |
Essentially all graduate students in the Department of Biology receive financial support in the form of teaching assistantships, research assistantships or fellowship/traineeships. Research support is obtained from research grants and contracts obtained by individual faculty members as well as from traineeships and grants obtained from various sources directly by students.
Historically the Department's graduate research program has benefited through support from cooperative agreements with such regional organizations as the National Biological Survey's Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, Delta Waterfowl and Wetlands Research Station, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, the University of Minnesota's Biological Station at Lake Itasca, and the University of North Dakota's Institute for Ecological Studies. Small research grants are made available to graduate students by the Department.
The M.S. graduate teaching assistant stipend for the academic year 2005-2006 is $11.762, and the Ph.D./D.A. stipend is $13,946. This will increase in future years in proportion to university salary increases. All graduate teaching and research assistants receive a tuition/fee waiver. Students seeking teaching assistantships should complete their applications as early as possible - preferably by 15 February for Fall Semester enrollment. |
