St. Jude Graduate School Tuition Scholarship

A full St. Jude Graduate School tuition scholarship is awarded to each student upon enrollment regardless of the program delivery mode.  If additional tuition funding is received, the tuition scholarship will be adjusted accordingly.

Fees

.Students have no additional fees or financial obligations for books, special equipment, or supplies.  The graduate school provides all required items

Placement Assistance

The “next step” for students who successfully complete a PhD in Biomedical Sciences or the Ms in Applied Biomedical Data Sciences is often a postdoctoral fellowship, industry position, or teaching position. Although there is no formal placement office or programming in the Graduate School, placement assistance for these positions is generally available through faculty advisors and other mentors in the program. Their support in placing graduates into premier fellowships can be invaluable. An extensive network of former St. Jude postdoctoral fellows is another resource to find placements in academia and industry.  Students who successfully complete this Masters or the Doctoral Program will expect to be considered for advancement in their clinical and healthcare related careers.  Faculty, staff, and clinical mentors within the Graduate School can also provide placement assistance for these students.
