Students admitted to the Genetics & Genomics program are appointed as a Graduate Research Assistant. The stipend for the 2022-2023 academic year is $34,000 per year. Stipends are paid biweekly as a salary. The stipend is intended to cover living expenses and student fees (transportation fee, technology fee, athletic fee, activity & service fee, etc.) since they are not covered by the tuition waiver. These stipends are taxable income. In addition to the stipend, all G&G students also receive a tuition waiver. Tuition waivers are not considered taxable income. For the 2021-22 academic year the student fees are approximately $738 per Fall & Spring semesters and $492 for the Summer semester. These fees are subject to change. The UFGI funds students in the first year during Fall, Spring, and Summer A semesters. As of Summer B of the first year, students will be funded through other sources. Most often, students are funded as Research Assistants by their mentors. Some students are also funded through fellowships or Teaching Assistantships.
