Scholarships

Nearly all doctoral students receive support from Departmental Fellowships or Research Assistantships. Tuition support is provided through fellowships and waivers. Departmental Fellows are not required to perform any particular duties for the Department, however Research Assistants are expected to actively participate in the activities or their advisor’s research group.
Most doctoral students are supported by research assistantships. Research assistantships are funded through programs with the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Army Research Office, the Department of Energy, NASA, the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation, industry, and many other sources. The Johns Hopkins University consistently receives more U.S. federal grant funding than any other university.
