All incoming doctoral students for fall 2007 who entered with an
M.A. received funding in the form of a graduate assistantship or
fellowship. This included a tuition waiver and a stipend (9-month
assistantship = $11,678; fellowship = $22,000). Students with
assistantships and fellowships pay only the mandatory student fees.

3. Internships
CSPP students have an extremely solid record of competing
successfully for pre-doctoral internship positions. Students who are
unsuccessful are typically faced with personal/family situations
that restrict them to apply only locally. Students who had to
reapply were all (100%) offered positions the second year they
applied.
