Financial Support Received by Our Trainees
Students admitted into the program can receive financial support in the form of nationally competitive stipends, waivers of tuition and fees, and full health insurance benefits. Support is provided as awards from an NIH Training Grant in Membrane Biology or through GPILS. Funding by NIH training grants is highly competitive and is based on undergraduate records, Graduate Record Examination or Medical 
College Admission Test scores, and letters of recommendation. Current stipend levels for trainees are usually $25,000 per year for first and second year students, and $26,000 per year for students in their third year and beyond. Stipends are adjusted annually to reflect the cost of living.
An appoinment to an NIH sponsored training program is worth noting on your CV. Only our most promising students are appointed to these grants. In addition to the supported mentioned above, students on this grant receive funds to attend national conferences.
