PhD Funding

PhD Funding and Benefit Packages

Computing & Data Sciences

Boston University’s PhD programs on the Charles River Campus subscribe to a full funding model. This system guarantees all PhD students in good standing with a 5-year funding offer that includes: a full tuition scholarship, mandatory student fees, payment of the premium for BU's basic Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and a stipend as described in your admission offer letter. This approach reflects BU’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of researchers across the humanities, social sciences, sciences, and engineering.
