The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPPS) offers multiple funding opportunities to ensure that our students are prepared for the next step of their education.

Our graduate student handbook outlines the basic stipend package that each graduate student receives.

Graduate Assistantships

All PhD students admitted to the program are offered financial support in the form of teaching or research assistantships. Financial support is offered separately from admittance to the program and is made on an individual basis.

Teaching Assistants are expected to devote part of their time to aiding in professional education and Research Assistants may devote their entire efforts to course work and to their own research projects.

Tuition Waivers

Graduate tuition and fees can be found on the WSU Graduate School website. Tuition waivers for in-state and out-of-state are offered to teaching and research assistants and medical insurance is a benefit that comes with the assistantship.

Out-of-State Waiver

It is expected that most assistantships will have the out-of-state tuition waived. For out-of-state U.S. citizens pursuing a PhD  you may be awarded for a maximum of 1 year as long as you are working towards residency. For international students, this is 4 years. After that time, these waivers may be awarded but cannot be guaranteed.

Priority Deadline: December 5 

Final Deadline: January 10 

Travel Grants

Our college also helps support travel to attend professional meetings and national conferences.

PhD Travel Grant Application

Please note: All awards are paid after the travel has occurred and you must submit original paid receipts or receipts that have been e-mailed as original for reimbursement.

Scholarships & Fellowships
