Stipends

Students enrolled full-time – 9 credits or more – are paid a monthly stipend. The current annual stipend rate is $33,750 and increases each year. The School of Medicine's stipend policy outlines the details.

Tuition and University Fees

In the Biomedical Engineering graduate program, tuition and university fees are covered by the mentoring faculty member. Students are not required to pay tuition and fees.

Student Health Insurance

OHSU requires students to be insurance and provides eligible students with medical and dental insurance. Learn more.  

Funding Opportunities

Although funding is guaranteed, students are encouraged to write individual fellowship applications to gain invaluable experience in proposal writing by developing and communicating scientific plans. Our students have been highly successful at obtaining grant awards from a number of agencies and benefit greatly from the prestige of external funding.
