How much does a PhD cost? | How PhD funding works!

How much does it cost to get a PhD? The short answer is: usually, zero dollars! However, it's more complicated than that. This video is about sources of PhD funding: where it comes from, what you have to do to be funded, and what kinds of financial questions to ask when you're deciding whether to accept a offer of PhD admission. Teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and PhD fellowships, both internal and external! Plus questions you should ask about PhD stipends, summer funding, travel expenses, student fees, cost of living, etc.

Remember: money is only ONE factor to take into account when you're deciding where to get your PhD! Stay tuned for more videos on how to decide where to go and how to pick a PhD advisor!
