Financial Support for Graduate Students

Graduate Assistantships

The department endeavors to provide stipend and tuition support to all accepted students. The most common form of support is a graduate assistantship, for either teaching or research duties performed in the department. Teaching assistants generally assist with the instruction of freshman or sophomore undergraduate labs, whereas research assistants work on projects directed by individual faculty.

Governor’s Biotechnology Initiative Fellowships (GBI)

Students interested in pursuing the M.S. in biological sciences in the area of biotechnology are eligible for fellowships funded by the Governor's Biotechnology Initiative. The fellowships include stipends for student researchers, tuition waivers, plus funds for research supplies and travel. 

Board of Regents Graduate Fellowships (BoR)

The most meritorious applicants to the doctoral program will be considered for Graduate Fellowships funded by the Louisiana State Board of Regents.
