kevink1 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hello, I have been accepted to a few sociology phd programs so far. I am so excited! For all the programs that I have been accepted to, I have been guaranteed full funding for 5 years. According to the programs, they cover tuition and health insurance. I just have a question about this. For whatever reason, back when I was applying, I thought "full funding" would cover other expenses such as rent? But, I guess not. Is this the norm in sociology or in other related fields as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureDoctor02 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hey there! Current soc student here now. "Full funding" *typically* is defined as fully funding your tuition and fees (although some students at certain universities pay fees. I luckily do not.) You are responsible for anything that basically handles your quality of life. You should be earning a stipend of some sort if you are fully funded. That stipend is either through fellowship or some type of GAship (TA/RA/etc.) Full funding is kinda oxymoronic because one person's interpretation is another persons struggle lol.
