UF College of Pharmacy
Financial Support for Ph.D. Students
The University of Florida College of Pharmacy offers a competitive stipend and many other benefits to Ph.D. students.
Competitive Stipend The minimum stipend for new Ph.D. students is $35,000, with a minimum of $38,000 for students with a previous Pharm.D. from an ACPE-accredited institution.
Student Benefits Financial support for Ph.D. students through graduate assistantships and fellowships includes full-time tuition, student fees and health insurance coverage.
Apply by December 1 All Ph.D. applicants are considered for funding. No separate application for funding is necessary.
Students may be eligible to receive additional supplements to their annual stipend for contributions to the College’s teaching mission.
All Ph.D. applicants are considered for funding through graduate assistantships and do not need to submit a separate funding application. Offers of admission to the Ph.D. program depend on the availability of funding, so it is in an applicant’s best interests to submit the complete application by the deadline to be considered in the first round of decisions.
Students applying for the master’s degree program are not eligible for funding through the college.
Graduate students who receive major competitive extramural fellowship support, including NIH or foundation-sponsored fellowships, qualify for additional supplements. Students are also eligible for financial support for travel for conferences and professional development. More information about these opportunities is available from the COP Office of Graduate Education.
