Summer Stipends
Provision for summer support during all years of a student's program is offered to Ph.D. students in humanities and social sciences departments through full, 12-month stipends. For students who require additional funds for summer travel -- especially for language study, archival research abroad, or other costly academic initiatives -- there may be additional funding from one of our many programs for which an application must be submitted in advance (generally, in January-February). These program funds are often disbursed with the April or May stipend check to enable students to make advanced, lower cost travel reservations or to pay tuition for language study away from Princeton.
Students in natural sciences and engineering departments are normally supported through their academic departments.
