buckinghamubadger Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I am getting an MA in political science and may want to go on to get a PhD depending on my job prospects after the MA. If I do cost will be a huge factor in my decision, and I would be extremely greatful for a list of fully funded programs, or just knowledge that you have of particular programs that are fully funded. So far I know of three: Stanford George Washington USC Arturov, cooperstreet and throwaway123456789 1 2
buckinghamubadger Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Is there somewhere I can find a list of them? Otherwise I think it would be valuable to compile one. I found 5 additional programs MIT University of Minnesota NYU Notre Dame Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) throwaway123456789 1
TimB Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Most are fully funded, or fully funded for most folks. Duke, UNC, and Vanderbilt are fully funded. I think CUNY is too. UMD funds most people.
cooperstreet Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Any respectable PhD program is fully funded. law2phd, rwillh11, rising_star and 4 others 7
law2phd Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) It would be far easier to compile a list of programs which are not fully funded, since almost all are. And the only programs I can think of worth attending on such a list would be some of the UC schools--for out-of-state residents only--because of budgetary issues with paying the additional ~$20k per year it costs to keep such students at a state university. Edit: And to be clear, even these schools fully fund their top recruits. They just might accept a few students per year without full funding.

Usually these fund too, because you can establish residency after 1 year. It is more of an issue for international students. Maybe not all the UC Schools do, but the 'good' ones do. law2phd 1
