USA: Ph.D. Student Fellowships and Research Assistantships

University of Louisville
Ph.D. Student Fellowships and Research Assistantships
Urban and Public Affairs

The Ph.D. Program in Urban and Public Affairs at the University of Louisville offers a number of Fellowships and Research Assistantships each year to new students. Applications are now being accepted for students who intend to begin study during the Fall Semester 2009. Both Fellowships and Research Assistantships offer annual stipends of US$19,000 plus tuition remission, health insurance, office space, and computer and IT support. Research assistants are required to work for 20 hours per week for a supervisor who is a member of the faculty of the Ph.D. Program, while fellows are exempt from that requirement for the first two years of study. Support is available for up to four years.

Students may focus their studies in the areas of (1) Urban Planning and Development or (2) Urban Policy and Administration. Assistantships provide an excellent opportunity for students to collaborate on research projects with faculty supervisors in their areas of interest.

Admissions requirements include a master’s degree and Graduate Record Examination scores.
