Rutgers offers a variety of assistantships, fellowships, and scholarships. The Graduate School-New Brunswick administers major fellowships that carry tuition and an annual stipend of $17,000 to $24,000 renewable for four years. Many other forms of financial aid are also available.
In addition to the description of financial aid, which can be found in the Graduate School-New Brunswick Catalog, there are a number of teaching and research assistantships available. The number of them depends on the nature of financial support from non-university providers. The deadline date for all applicants wishing to be considered for Excellence Fellowships is January 15.
Funding resources directly from the Department of Food Science are limited. Students are strongly advised to secure their own funding source. The average cost per year is around $34,000 U.S. dollars.
Financial Aid Deadline: January 15
