Graduate Student Parents

If you have children, you are eligible for various forms of aid from the Graduate Division – above and beyond any Department fellowship – to help support your family.

One of the most important is a “Parent Grant” which provides up to $8,000 of additional stipend per academic year for child support. There is also subsidized Family Student Housing and Day Care. For more information and deadlines see,
