A variety of funding sources help to support graduate students. These include internal resources at the departmental and university level.

All Ph.D. students accepted to the program are offered a five-year support package that generally includes an unencumbered recruitment fellowship with a living stipend, tuition remission, and health insurance coverage in the first year.

Further support for both M.A. and Ph.D. students comes in the form of Associate Instructor (AI) and Graduate Assistant (GA) positions. AIs may work as teaching assistants with faculty in large survey courses, or they may be the instructor of record for certain lower-division courses. GAs assist with grading and aspects of course administration. Both AI and GA positions offer a monthly stipend, tuition remission, and health insurance.

M.A. students may also be funded for up to two years through AI or GA positions that offer stipends, tuition remission and health insurance.

The IU Eskenazi Museum of Art also awards a number of graduate assistant positions, offering stipends, tuition remission, and health insurance. For information about available assistantships and fellowships, contact:
