AMERICA'S
BEST GRADUATE SCHOOL STIPENDS |

Message to Garcia, American philosopher and writer Elbert
Hubbard (1856-1915) wrote:
Mr. Hubbard would probably say the same thing about graduate school - but if you're getting a PhD in the biological and biomedical sciences,* you get paid to go to school! You also have flexible hours, student discounts, and no dress code - things I sorely miss now that I have entered the world of "business casual." Still, having a PhD is pretty awesome - even if I have to ration my vacation/sick days and pay full price for movie tickets. I feel especially cool because I can now select the title of "Dr." instead of "Ms." when I shop online. For several years, I published a graduate stipend comparison for Ph.D. programs in the biological and biomedical sciences. However, in the past year or so, various things (like dissertation, graduating, getting a job, etc.) have prevented me from making a list for the 2007-8 academic year. Due to popular demand, I have finally updated this site. I'm also starting to compile data for the current 2008-9 academic year - as well as the upcoming 2009-10 year.
