Vanderbilt: $24,250/year for five years (I believe this is the same base package that everyone receives).

DGS mentioned that they are trying to implement funding for the summers of the 2nd and 3rd year (let's hope they get this going before I'm out of there!)

There also seem to be lots of opportunities for additional funding through both the department and the graduate school for summers, dissertation enhancement grants, etc. etc.

WOW! $24K for an english grad program??? that's usually science money and even then, it's substantial. that's incredible funding vandy must be the highest in the country? I think WUSTL also offers similar funding.

Unfortunately I don't know any of the 2010 data for the schools above.

If anyone is interested in the stipends of other schools, here are some of the yearly amounts according to application results:

- Johns Hokpins 18,500 year w/ 3,000 summer funding per year

- University of Pennsylvania ~22,000

- Columbia 23,000

- Cornell ~26,400

- University of Rochester ~17,000

- University Of Connecticut- Storrs ~19,000

University of California - Riverside 16,000

If anyone could provide other funding amounts, I think it would this thread might be a good way to compile data for reference. Sometimes individuals are hesitant to discuss funding, however, which is understandable.

upenn also offers $3,500 summer funding for 3 summers (you can select which ones) per their dept. web site. that combined with their stipend makes them have a pretty nice package... especially since philly is a reasonably priced city housing-wise (not like NYC, LA, etc.).

thanks for this!

Can the acceptees to these schools provide the funding packages you were offered for these schools??

- Harvard

- BC

- Tufts

- Vanderbilt

- SUNY Buffalo

The web sites don't list actual amount and even though some of the gradcafe results have $ amounts previous years, there is no 2010 data.

Also, if others want to share their funding packgs. here then you could use this thread. Thanks!

[Tufts/Boston]

To the Tufts rejectee on the results: Sorry if it was a bad blow but is there any way you could tell us what the rejection letter said? You'd really help us all out.

Also, anyone else waiting on BC?

[Cornell]

@MP: The dream indeed. And then there's that whole living on or around Manhattan thing . My faculty advisors and favorite prof were push, push, pushing me to apply there. I'm also too timid to contact them. The one time I did contact them it was like getting my wrist slapped. Maybe that should tell us something? I hope actually being a grad student there wouldn't have a similar tone.

Cornell is nowhere near Manhattan? Unless 5 hours = near to you.

Has anyone actually considered emailing paul fry to cut short the painful wait and confirm the news?

Jesus someone is impatient. The guy is a distinguished professor and he took time out today to give great news to wonderful applicants. I don't think it'd be very professional to contact him right now to tell him to ask if you were accepted or not.
