If you are accepted into the PhD program, are all costs of tuition paid?

  Only doctoral students are eligible for funding. The funding packet offered to all PhD students includes tuition remission, a Graduate Assistantship stipend, and a range of benefits (medical, dental, psychological, etc.).  Washington, DC offers exciting opportunities to experience a major metropolitan city also operating as the nation’s capitol; however, it has a high cost of living (DC was recently ranked as the most expensive city in the U.S.). 

For that reason we try to diminish costs as far as possible so that all students are able to focus on their scholarship as the central component of their labor while at GWU. Graduate packages for doctoral students include five years of tuition and stipend.
