This is what they said in my admission letter last year:

"I am also happy to offer you a funding package for the 2015-2016 academic year, including a graduate assistantship with a 10-month stipend of $22,240, a full tuition scholarship for your tuition up to 24 credits during the academic year and up to 6 credits for the summer, and 75% toward the cost of the Fordham student health insurance program up to a maximum contribution amount of $1500, should you elect to purchase coverage through this program. The value of this award package totals approximately $65,014. You must be enrolled full time in order to benefit from this financial assistance. Your funding is awarded for a 5-year period and will be renewed annually contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and progress in the program. Typically, a student on this type of funding will serve initially as a graduate assistant or tutor."

Hope that helps!
