</div>
<h4 id="funding_for_ma_and_ms_students">Funding for MA and MS Students</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Students in the MA in Mathematics and the MS in Data Science & Statistics programs do not normally receive financial support from Binghamton University. Two exceptions are the <a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/grad-school/awards-honors/clark-fellowship.html" class="urlextern" title="https://www.binghamton.edu/grad-school/awards-honors/clark-fellowship.html">Clark Fellowship</a> and the Kappe Fellowship.
</p>
</div>
<h5 id="kappe_fellowship">Kappe Fellowship</h5>
<div class="level5">
<p>
The Kappe Fellowship is awarded to a student enrolled in either the MA in Mathematics or the MS in Data Science & Statistics program. Preference is given to female candidates who completed part of their secondary education at a State University of New York campus, excluding Binghamton University. Secondary consideration is given to candidates from any U.S. higher education institution. The fellowship will be sufficient to cover nearly one year of in-state graduate tuition at Binghamton University.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="funding_for_phd_students">Funding for PhD Students</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Most of our full-time graduate students pursuing the PhD have teaching assistantships, or in some cases are supported as research fellows. Teaching assistants receive a stipend and a full tuition scholarship in return for teaching or grading duties. The tuition scholarship covers all tuition expenses, but not the (relatively small) student fees. Being a teaching assistant gives the student useful and marketable experience in teaching at the college level, and the duties leave plenty of time for full-time graduate study. Typically, a teaching assignment might involve three to five hours per week in the classroom, together with preparation time and office hours. Someone with no previous teaching experience usually assists a faculty member by conducting recitation sections. More experienced teaching assistants lead their own calculus or pre-calculus classes.
</p>
<p>
Summer support is also available for some students.
</p>
<p>
Teaching assistantships are only available to students who are enrolled in the PhD program. Thus applicants who intend to pursue a PhD at Binghamton should apply to the PhD program, even if they do not yet have a master’s degree. Successful applicants may be enrolled in the PhD program and receive a teaching assistantship while they pursue their master's degree.
</p>
<p>
Students who receive an assistantship can expect to have it renewed for a second year, provided their academic and assistantship work are both satisfactory. A more rigorous evaluation on funding is made at the end of the second year. If a student's support is renewed then, and they continue to make satisfactory degree progress, they can expect to be supported until they receive the PhD degree; however, Graduate School regulations limit assistantship support to a total of six years in such cases. This paragraph should be understood as a statement of our general policy; legally, support is given one year at a time.

The Kappe Fellowship is awarded to a student enrolled in either the MA in Mathematics or the MS in Data Science & Statistics program. Preference is given to female candidates who completed part of their secondary education at a State University of New York campus, excluding Binghamton University. Secondary consideration is given to candidates from any U.S. higher education institution. The fellowship will be sufficient to cover nearly one year of in-state graduate tuition at Binghamton University.

<h3 class="sectionedit51" id="funding_for_phd_students2">Funding for PhD Students</h3>
<div class="level3">
<p>
Most of our full-time graduate students pursuing the PhD have teaching assistantships, or in some cases are supported as research fellows. Teaching assistants receive a stipend and a full tuition scholarship in return for teaching or grading duties. The tuition scholarship covers all tuition expenses, but not the (relatively small) student fees. Being a teaching assistant gives the student useful and marketable experience in teaching at the college level, and the duties leave plenty of time for full-time graduate study. Typically, a teaching assignment might involve three to five hours per week in the classroom, together with preparation time and office hours. Someone with no previous teaching experience usually assists a faculty member by conducting recitation sections. More experienced teaching assistants lead their own calculus or pre-calculus classes.
</p>
<p>
Summer support is also available for some students.
</p>
<p>
Teaching assistantships are only available to students who are enrolled in the PhD program. Thus applicants who intend to pursue a PhD at Binghamton should apply to the PhD program, even if they do not yet have a master’s degree. Successful applicants may be enrolled in the PhD program and receive a teaching assistantship while they pursue their master's degree.
</p>
<p>
Students who receive an assistantship can expect to have it renewed for a second year, provided their academic and assistantship work are both satisfactory. A more rigorous evaluation on funding is made at the end of the second year. If a student's support is renewed then, and they continue to make satisfactory degree progress, they can expect to be supported until they receive the PhD degree; however, Graduate School regulations limit assistantship support to a total of six years in such cases. This paragraph should be understood as a statement of our general policy; legally, support is given one year at a time.
