Funding

Harvard Griffin GSAS typically offers the following financial support to PhD students in the Social Sciences:

Students confirm their funding in the Student Aid Portal each year during the annual financial aid acceptance process. 

All PhD students in our PhD training program receive a stipend for living expenses provided by Harvard/GSAS in the first, second, and final year of PhD training. This stipend is intended to support students so that they can focus on their studies without the requirement to engage in employment. Students are not required to perform any work for Harvard in exchange for this stipend.
