migrationdude Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 As we all wait for more decisions to come, I was wondering if any one has any idea as to the average stipend you can expect to get in Sociology. How much does this vary by location?
hardboiledegg Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 As far as I know, if you get a stipend, you're looking at 15-20k. But of course I could be completely wrong! That was just my experience.
readyforachange Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 For the last three years, my stipend has been 12K. However, as I get offers for PhD funding, I think the new averages are between 15-20K (similar to poster above), perhaps depending somewhat on area.
Tritonetelephone Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Here are the specific numbers I found for my apps: USC: 79% (31/39) remission UT: 92% of students receive support; 15 students - $19,000 fellowships, 35 - $17,000 RAs, 50 - $17,000 TAs UCSB: 91% remission (median grad school debt = $0) UCSD: 50-76% remission FSU: all fulltime students receive $14,000 - $17,700 Indiana: "virtually all" students receive remission + stipend for first 5 years Arizona: "vast majority" funded for 2 years; $14,734 + OS waiver UMAss Amherst: full funding 4-5 years (stipend, waiver, health benefits) Stony Brook: 83% remission Delaware: 92% remission; full tuition + stipend September - May; 38/56 students receive $14,600
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Just got an offer from UNC Chapel Hill: Tuition waiver and health insurance plus $15,000 a year to TA. Have to pay 17000 student fee. But, NC is really cheap to live.
BodyStudiesPhD Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Congrats! Is the student fee $17,000?! Or $1700??
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 SOrry, 1,700. In my excited state I added an extra 0.
Tritonetelephone Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Wow, congrats ewurgler! UNC is a good school - you can start relaxing now (if you can help it!).
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Wow, congrats ewurgler! UNC is a good school - you can start relaxing now (if you can help it!). Thank you!!! I'm definitely much more relaxed. Though UNC was not at the top of my list, I got excited and starting looking on craigslist at the awesome houses on 4 acres that cost about half of the rent I pay here (san diego). I saw a ucsd soc rejection--I hope that wasn't you!
Tritonetelephone Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I saw a ucsd soc rejection--I hope that wasn't you! It wasn't, but they haven't accepted me yet either. Sorry to hear it, whoever it was!
