The Biology Department does not guarantee financial support for MS students, although there are often Teaching Assistant positions available for MS students. Please see article 18 of the BU Graduate Workers Union collective bargaining agreement for information about current pay rates. MS students are also eligible for the scholarships offered by the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Prospective students should answer the “Department Scholarships” question on the application to be considered for a scholarship. Scholarships are usually renewed each year as long as the student is in good academic standing. Continuing MS students may apply for a Master’s Research Award , which provides a Research Assitantship. More information on the cost of attendance and financial aid is available on the GRS website.
