Harvard's financial support package is typically for the first four years of study and the completion year, using a tiered  tuition structure that reduces tuition over time as students progress through their degree programs. This multiyear funding package includes a combination of tuition grants, stipends, traineeships, teaching fellowships, research assistantships, and other academic appointments. In addition, Harvard Griffin GSAS students are particularly successful in securing grants,  fellowships , and other sources of external funding as part of their professional development.

The standard funding package includes:

• grant toward tuition and fees—paid in full for years 1 through 4, plus the dissertation completion year, with a partially subsidized dental plan option available
• living expense stipend during years 1 and 2
• a combination of stipend, teaching fellowships, and/or research assistantships during years 3 and 4
• if noted in your Notice of Financial Support, summer research funding following the first four academic years from Harvard Griffin GSAS or faculty grants
• stipend and/or research support during the completion year.

In some programs, the timing and structure of living expense support may vary from this pattern. For example, students in the sciences typically receive full funding until they complete their degrees.

GSAS Raises Ph.D. Stipends to $50,000, Answering Grad Union Call for Living Wage

Law Firm Edelson PC to Stop Campus Recruiting From Harvard Law School Over Gay’s Congressional Testimony

Ph.D. students in Harvard’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will be paid at least $50,000 in program stipends, increasing most stipends by more than 10 percent, GSAS Dean Emma Dench announced in an email Monday.

The surprise holiday raise will also increase compensation for some in the social sciences and humanities by more than 20 percent starting July 1, 2024.

The Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Auto Workers had been pushing for the increase since May, when the union collected more than 1,600 signatures for a petition calling on the University to raise yearly compensation to $48,779, the living wage rate in Middlesex County.

The new minimum is just $1,221 above the union’s requested amount.

“This is a huge deal,” said HGSU-UAW steward Rachel E. Petherbridge. “I cannot overstate that this is the difference between people making rent in their current apartments or having to move.”

Although Dench attributed the changes to the work of top University administrators, HGSU-UAW declared it a union victory, publicly announcing the news on X before GSAS.

In emails to individual departments, union stewards wrote that the raise was a “direct result” of union organizing.

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the exact things that we wanted in the living wage campaign they announced that they would give,” Petherbridge said.

But despite eight months of organizing, HGSU-UAW steward Alexandra C. Stanton said that union organizers were “all a little bit surprised that this was announced.”

The union had requested to reopen negotiations over wages in July, but Harvard later rejected the request, as the contract didn’t mandate the University to engage in mid-contract negotiations.

Still, Stanton said the issue was a major concern for a large sector of the union, and the “pressure really affected Harvard.”

Harvard spokesperson Jason A. Newton declined to comment for this article.

The stipend increase to $50,000 is a significant boost to individual wages for some of the school’s lowest-paid Ph.D. students, marking a new compensation structure that approaches pay parity. Though total compensation is not capped at $50,000, all Ph.D. students will make at least the minimum rate.

Under HGSU-UAW’s current contract, which expires in 2025, minimum pay varies widely. Prior to this raise, student workers in the life sciences would have earned over $4,000 more than their counterparts in humanities or social sciences in the 2025 fiscal year.

In Monday’s announcement, Dench wrote that the decision was facilitated by the GSAS Admissions and Graduate Education Working Group final report released in September , which explicitly recommended increasing stipends.

The report found that the GSAS’s financial aid was “no longer sufficient” to keep up with rising costs of living and to remain competitive with peer institutions. According to the report, Harvard pays graduate students $5,000 to $15,000 less than other universities.

But in her email announcing the change, Dench wrote that the “report’s recommendations gave us a stronger platform from which to advocate for our students.”

Stanton said major union wins at other universities, including significant raises won by MIT’s graduate student union in September, put pressure on Harvard to strengthen its compensation.

“A union win anywhere really helps people everywhere,” Stanton said.

In her email, Dench thanked Harvard President Claudine Gay, Provost Alan M. Garber ’76, and Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean Hopi E. Hoekstra for “their support, financial and otherwise.”

“These enhancements are the result of hard work on the part of many in the Harvard Griffin GSAS and University communities,” Dench wrote.

Dench did not mention the union, the living wage campaign, or specific findings from the report.

“While Harvard carefully avoids mentioning HGSU in its announcement email, make no mistake that this would not have been achieved without the Living Wage campaign and the organizing of over 1600 student workers,” immunology department stewards wrote in an email to students.

Union organizers also claimed the raise was motivated in part by a desire to address predictable concerns that would become bargaining issues during HGSU-UAW’s next contract negotiation, expected to begin in 2024.

“They know our contract declaration is coming up and maybe they want to put the idea in people’s heads that Harvard, just out of the goodness of their hearts, gave everybody a raise to $50,000,” Stanton said.

“Now is the time for us to double down, because if we can win $50,000 a year when our contract expires, can we win an even bigger raise?” she added. “Can we win a cost of living adjustment?”

Correction: December 20, 2023:

A previous verison of this article incorrectly stated that the Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Auto Workers broke the news about the Ph.D. program stipend increase on X before the official announcement. In fact, HGSU-UAW was just the first to publicly announce the stipend increase.

Financial Support

Beyond tuition remission, Ph.D. students receive the following financial support from the Graduate School.

• A stipend for their first two years. During this period, students do not teach.
• Financial support via guaranteed teaching in the third and fourth year . During this period, students are hired as teaching fellows; the normal workload for a teaching fellow is two sections a term.
• A dissertation completion fellowship. This includes a full stipend for one academic year.

In addition, various university fellowships (for example: Term Time and Merit Fellowships, Fellowships at the Safra Center) are available on a competitive basis.

The Department also grants each Philosophy graduate student one academic term of stipend support through a Philosophy Department Fellowship.

While teaching is only guaranteed for four academic terms, the Department is committed to attempting to (and generally succeeds at) making it possible for students to teach beyond the guaranteed terms of teaching. Students are especially encouraged to design and a teach their own course (a tutorial for about 9 students) in their fifth or sixth year.

During the first year a student teaches in the Department –normally the third year –he or she is required to attend a year long pedagogy seminar.

Travel and Research Funding

The Philosophy Department grants up to $5500 of fellowship money to use for professional development. This includes:

• Travel to a workshop or conference to present or comment on a paper.
• Travel to a workshop or conference where the subject matter is clearly related to the student’s dissertation research.
• Travel to a library/institution with a collection related to the student’s dissertation.
• In exceptional cases, travel to meet with a dissertation adviser. Normally such meetings are held via Zoom.
• Support for a foreign language course.

Requests for funds are accepted on a rolling basis and submitted via CARAT .

Harvard Griffin GSAS also provides additional resources for graduate students seeking short- or long-term funding support for research, language study, graduate school generally, and dissertation writing.

Philosophy Department Fellowship

The Department currently awards (from its own funds) a half year's stipend (a Philosophy Department Fellowship, or PDF) to students who have completed the topical exam for their dissertation and are otherwise in good academic standing. (‘Good standing’ is explained below).

There are two application periods for a PDF. Eligible graduate students may apply either during the Spring term by the end of spring exam period or in the Fall term by October 15.

Applications must include:  the date of the topical; tentative dissertation title; a brief paragraph describing the area in which the dissertation lies; names of the chair of the dissertation committee and other members; which of the two following terms they prefer to take the fellowship (i.e., the next fall or following spring for May applicants; the next spring or following fall for October applicants).  Note that students are expected to be in residence at Harvard during the time they have a PDF and to participate in the intellectual life of the Department.

Whether students are awarded PDFs is subject both to availability of funds and to the Department’s teaching needs. The award term for the PDF will be determined in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies.  It does not depend on whether students are awarded other fellowships such as a Safra or Merit Fellowship. Teaching is not permitted during the PDF term.  It is the students responsibility to inform the grad reps as to when they will be ineligible to teach due to receiving a PDF. Students may receive a PDF just once while in the program.

The norms for being in good academic standing include but are not limited to the following: By the beginning of a student's third year, having successfully completed the second year paper requirement and successfully completed at least 10 of the 12 philosophy courses required for the degree; by the beginning of a student's fourth year, having completed at least 11 of the 12 courses required for the degree and having satisfied the logic requirement; by the beginning of the student's fifth year, having successfully completed all requirements for the Ph.D., including the topical (but excluding the dissertation). These, it is to be stressed are norms: different students make progress at different rates, and not precisely conforming to these norms need not mean that you are not making satisfactory progress. (If you do not meet the guidelines above, consult with the DGS.)

The Department of Economics is committed to ensuring students have fellowship support and funding opportunities throughout their program. Students in our program are awarded a financial package that includes tuition, single-person health insurance, living stipend for the first two years, teaching and research assistant stipends and a completion fellowship in the final year of the program.

Fellowships

The PhD funding package includes stipends for living expenses in the first two years of the program and a guaranteed Dissertation Completion Fellowship (DCF) in the final year of study. GSAS provides several research fellowships opportunities and research support for students applying to these and other fellowships. For a comprehensive list of fellowships, both internal and external, refer to the  general funding page . 

Research Assistantships

Research positions are widely available and integral to the program at Harvard. Positions vary in scope, terms and length.  Generally, these are offered directly from faculty members. During the first two years, the department will arrange an RA appointment. These opportunities are intended to connect students with faculty and help engage students. Beyond the second year, RA positions can be full-time and salary is negotiated with faculty. In some cases, faculty will opt to "buy out" the teaching stipend during the third and fourth years. Students who choose to pursue this option can still qualify for the GSAS Supplemental Stipend (TF top-up). 

Teaching at Harvard

Teaching fellows are an important part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and play a critical role in the education of students. As a teaching fellow, you assist in courses under the supervision of faculty.  Duties may include teaching sections, conducting tutorials, recommending grades, and supervising independent study projects. The workload for teaching fellows (TFs) is calculated in “term fifths.” A “fifth” (1/5) is a unit of time that represents 20 percent of a full-time workload. The teaching component of the financial support package consists of the equivalent of the two-fifths (two sections per semester) rate of teaching per term for four terms. 

It is the joint responsibility of the student and their program to identify available teaching opportunities that can be used to fulfill the teaching guarantee of two term-fifths per term. Students may teach in areas outside of their departments and appointments are arranged during the spring semester (for the following year). For more detailed information on policies, refer to the GSAS Teaching Fellows page .

Persons not affiliated with Harvard but have been selected to teach are known as Teaching Assistants or "TAs". As a TA, you will receive a Harvard ID and email address. You can obtain an ID card through the  ID office  and activate your email address  FAS Account Management . You will need your ID and pin number to activate your account. TAs are paid monthly and more information regarding Payroll can be found through Peoplesoft . You can also access  My Harvard   for additional resources, including Library, courses, and University events.

• FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology meets the financial needs of its graduate students through a combination of department scholarships and fellowships, teaching fellowships, research assistantships, and independent outside fellowships. Financial support is awarded on a 12-month basis, enabling students to pursue their research throughout the year.

G1s are typically paid through a departmental fellowship in the fall term and a teaching fellowship in the spring term. Research assistantships start in July after the student has completed the first year of the graduate program. Research assistantships provide an opportunity for students to devote more time to research. The 12-month research assistantship is the major vehicle for student support within a research group.

Stipend and Tuition

The CCB stipend rate is $42,588 ($3,549/month). Stipend and tuition support (including student health fees and the student health insurance plan) is provided to all graduate students in good standing, through the Department, faculty advisor, and/or external fellowships. More information on student health insurance is available through  University Health Services . 

Fellowship Policy

Funding from an external fellowship will replace any stipend and tuition support from the Department. However, the Department will supplement any fellowship to the amounts indicated above, so that those students with external fellowships receive the same level of support as other graduate students in the Department. Students with external fellowships are required to inform the Department so that the fellowship may be integrated with the rest of their financial support.

Stipends & Fellowships

Stipends are payments made to individuals for subsistence support or to defray expenses during a period of academic appointment. Stipend payments are not compensation for services rendered and, therefore, are not allowable on federal awards unless the purpose of the agreement is to provide training to selected participants and the charge is approved by the sponsoring agency (OMB Circular Uniform Guidance, Subpart E). The most common type of federal awards that include stipends are fellowships and training grants. Additional information is available in the Guidance Concerning Charging Stipends to Sponsored Awards .

Stipends are allowable on non-federal sponsored research awards, and they should be anticipated in proposal budgets and approved by the sponsor. Many non-federal sponsors are willing to fund stipends. It is important, however, to distinguish individuals who are providing services to the University from individuals who are being paid without any expectation of work effort. University human resources policies prevail over non-federal sponsor expectations. An individual who is being paid for the services provided to the University should be considered either an employee or an independent contractor.

FAS Guide to Research Appointments, FY 2020

Fellowships

Fellowships are grants that support the educational experience of the recipient. Fellowships may be research related or non-research activities. These funds are not considered compensation for performance. The purposes of a fellowship are to enhance the academic experience and career growth.

Some Sponsors use the term fellowship to support individuals who are actually participating in a defined research project in which deliverables are expected. The funds are considered compensation for performance and usually includes stipend payments. This type of fellowship represents an employment relationship. It is important to carefully read the sponsor’s guidelines to determine which type of fellowship the sponsor is offering and the implications for proposal processing, budgeting, deliverables, award acceptance, and award management.

Many sponsors fund fellowships; however, the most common are foundations, NSF and NIH.

Preparing a Proposal

Stipends are only allowed if there are specific training activities included in the scope of work as proposed and awarded by the federal sponsor. Outgoing federal proposals that include stipends in the budget should include a description of a training purpose in the award. Graduate student support that is not identified explicitly as “stipend” will be considered “compensation” and should carry indirect costs. OSP offices and tub-level research administrators will review proposals to prevent submission of stipends on research awards.

Sponsored funds intended to support training or research training will state that intention clearly in the agency program announcement. When submitting a proposal for an award that allows stipends, the stipend costs should be identified in the proposal budget justification and justified as to why it is necessary and allocable to the performance of the award. Inclusion in the budget justification is intended to enable the sponsor to review and concur with the need for the stipend costs. Written justification and/or approval is meant to prevent questions regarding the allowability of costs in the event of an audit.

NIH uses stipends when funding Fellowships. The stipend levels are updated on a yearly basis. The stipend is specific to the individuals career level and years of experience. The latest rates are posted by NIH.

NSF only allows stipends in support of participant support costs. The stipends cannot support Harvard employees, and do not support activities that benefit the research award.

Not every cost can be anticipated at the time of proposal preparation. In the event that an unbudgeted stipend cost is required after an award is funded, the department should work directly with their OSP Awards Management contact to determine if sponsor approval is required. Any stipends on federal awards require sponsor approval, except those already noted. The written sponsor approval, as well as the justification explaining the purpose and need for stipend payments on the specific project, will be retained in GMAS for future reference should the expenditure be questioned at a later date.

Managing an Award

As part of ongoing account reconciliations, Department/Local Level Managing Units are responsible for reviewing stipend transactions for allowability and compliance with sponsor requirements. Stipend expenses on a federal award require verification of allowability, as such, stipends are automatically flagged as part of GMAS Transaction Monitoring . OSP Research Finance confirms the allowability of stipend charges on federal awards during periodic reviews of financial activity. Stipends are expensed to object code 6440 for Graduate Students and 6450 for Postdoc Fellows. When allowable under the terms and conditions of the fellowship, additional salary compensation can be paid using object code 6140 for Graduate Students and 6150 for Postdoc Fellows. The Department/Local Level Managing Unit must ensure stipend payments and salary compensation are budgeted and expensed correctly since there are different IRS tax rules for each.

Closing out an Award

The Department/Local Level Managing Unit provides a final account reconciliation to ensure allowable stipend expenditures post to the account. They are also responsible for removing any stipend expenditures that are unallowable. OSP Research Finance validates stipend transactions against the sponsor budget to confirm allowability and reports them as required by the sponsor.

Boston University graduate students go on strike, citing lack of progress in negotiations

Hundreds gathered on Boston University's campus for a blustery midday rally to kick off the Boston University Graduate Workers Union's strike. The union, which has roughly 3,000 members, voted to authorize the strike earlier this month.

At Monday’s rally on Marsh Plaza, organizers were supported by representatives from other labor unions and elected officials, including Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

During the nationwide uptick in graduate student labor activism, union members often voice a common grievance: that they perform essential teaching, research and administrative duties while being paid relatively meager stipends.

But members of the Boston University Graduate Workers Union said their strike highlights particular frustrations. They say contract negotiations have moved at a glacial pace, all while the costs of rent, food and child care near campus rise.

After years of organizing, BUGWU formed in December 2022 after a lopsided victory in its union election. But it's still bargaining its first contract — something union organizers blame on the university’s efforts to draw out the process. (Editor's note: Boston University owns WBUR’s broadcast license.)

The strike coincides with BUGWU’s filing of an unfair labor practice petition with the National Labor Relations Board, arguing the university is withholding vital information about the unit that they are obligated to provide.

Union officials claimed that BU has the means to be more generous, pointing to the university’s most recent financial statement from last June, which disclosed a $152 million operating surplus.

In a statement sent Monday afternoon, BU spokesperson Rachel Lapal Cavallario wrote that BU leaders “value our graduate students and their many contributions to teaching and research and will continue to address their needs through the collective bargaining process.”

“At the same time, we are concerned about the strike’s impact on teaching, research, and the lives of thousands of other students, and we are working to minimize that disruption,” Cavallario added.

Blair Stowe, a union member and doctoral student in theology at BU, claimed that university negotiators have taken, on average, 100 days to respond to union proposals — three times longer than she says the union has typically taken to respond to the university’s proposals. After eight months of little progress, Stowe said, union members agreed: “We needed to stand up and say, ‘We need a fair contract and we need it now.’ ”

Stowe, who lives in Dorchester, earns a stipend of just over $26,000 a year. A sign taped to her back during the rally noted she would need to earn more than twice that to afford the cost of BU’s child care for her two children under age 5.

“I’m lucky. … I call my husband my ‘generous benefactor’ — we have a one-and-a-half-income household," Stowe said. "But it’s still hard."

Other members who are parents spoke to deeper worries. Pol Pardini Gispert, a doctoral candidate in philosophy, said, “I'm tired of living with a constant uncertainty of whether I'm going to be able to provide for my family.”

Gispert has an 8-month-old daughter. Speaking to the crowd Monday, he said, “Will I be able to afford rent next month? Will I be able to afford diapers or the food that my daughter needs this week? If my daughter gets sick, will I be able to afford the bills?”

At BU and elsewhere, graduate students are expected to work 20 hours each week, though several union members said Monday they’re often asked to work more than that.

Currently, stipends for BU’s graduate student workers range from roughly $26,000 to $40,000. University officials have said they offered a 13% increase over the next three years, but that union negotiators want more.

In addition to increased stipends, the union’s demands include expanded child care benefits, disability accommodations, and vision and dental insurance.

Among the union members to join Monday’s rally in solidarity was BU junior Jasmine Richardson, who helped organize BU’s residential-life workers into a union last year.

Richardson shared criticisms about the university’s negotiating process. Five months into bargaining their own inaugural contract, Richardson said unit members consistently leave feeling “disappointed, frustrated and disrespected.”

“BU has consistently broken their promises: not providing the [contract proposals] they say they will, not providing complete articles, offering counter-proposals that are, honestly, just disrespectful and patronizing,” Richardson said.

Monday’s crowd was cheered by the appearance of Pressley, who attended BU. She quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who received his doctorate from BU in 1951, on demands shared by labor and civil rights activists.

Those included, King wrote, “decent wages, fair working conditions, livable housing, security in our old age, health and welfare measures — conditions in which our families can grow.”

“I wanted to center the words of Dr. King because very often we quote King, and we espouse [his] values at institutions like this, but we don't practice them,” Pressley said before telling the crowd she will stand with them until a fair contract has been signed.

It’s unclear when that will be. While several graduate student strikes have ended in days, a 2019 stoppage at Harvard ran for almost a full month, while a much larger strike in the University of California system two years ago dragged to 40 days .

BU officials have announced that they intend to withhold pay from any student workers who participate in the strike; the union has started a hardship fund for its members.

In a letter sent Monday, Kenneth Lutchen, BU’s interim provost, notified undergraduates of the strike and said administrators are working to “ensure your education proceeds as smoothly as possible.”

Meanwhile, the union has asked the same students to join them on the picket line in solidarity.

Johns Hopkins University, PhD union reach tentative agreement

The proposed three-year collective bargaining agreement, which includes enhanced pay and benefits, will now go to a ratification vote.

By Hub staff report

Johns Hopkins University and the union representing PhD student employees at the university have reached agreement on a proposed three-year collective bargaining agreement covering a broad range of important topics, including minimum stipend levels, years of guaranteed funding, union and management rights, discipline, grievance and arbitration procedures, and health and safety provisions.

Since last May, bargaining committees from JHU and the union that represents the PhD students—Teachers and Researchers United – United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America Local 197 (TRU-UE Local 197)—have been negotiating details of the CBA. After more than 40 bargaining sessions, a tentative agreement was reached on Friday night. The proposed CBA, which includes 29 articles, will now go to all PhD students represented by TRU-UE for a ratification vote.

The proposed CBA offers enhanced pay and benefits that raise the minimum stipend to $47,000 per year beginning this July. Stipend increases are more than 40% on average across the bargaining unit and more than 50% in some departments. The three-year agreement also includes guaranteed increases of more than 6% in the second year of the contract to $50,000, and then a 4% increase in the third year of the contract. Among other benefit enhancements, the proposed CBA also includes paid health benefits for children and some spouses, up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave, increased vacation and sick time, and a one-time $1,000 signing bonus for all bargaining unit members if the agreement is ratified.

"We are pleased to have reached an agreement on the first contract between the university and TRU-UE Local 197 and appreciate the constructive and collaborative spirit union leaders brought to the negotiations as we sought common ground on a wide range of important issues," said Sabine Stanley , vice provost of graduate education and a member of the university's bargaining team. "If ratified, this agreement will strengthen PhD education at JHU."
