All eligible GS grads receive a funding package of $45,000 per year (as of 7/1/23), plus a tuition waiver and health insurance. Funding is typically provided by the department during your first year and by your lab thereafter.

Outside Funding:

All students should apply for outside funding. This should ideally be done early in your first or second year. Your own fellowship will look great on a resume and will also make your thesis advisor very happy...

Specifically, the department expects all students who are US citizens or permanent residents to apply for National Science Foundation fellowships. You will take a course that will prepare you for this application. NSF funding opportunities can be found at: http://www.nsfgrfp.org/

Training Grants:

You may be asked to apply for funding from a training grant. Most UW training grants are interdisciplinary, so students from a variety of departments are eligible - eligibility tends to be determined by thesis advisor rather than by academic program. Grant administrators notify faculty when funding slots are available. Because these are NIH funding sources, only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible.

Other funding sources include:
