Most students in the Department of Horticulture are
supported by their faculty advisor through assistantships. The Horticulture graduate assistantship for
2005-2006 is $25,000 to $31,000 for MS and PhD students and
includes stipend, tuition for up to nine credits (six credits
are considered full time for graduate students), and health
insurance. Further information regarding the
graduate assistantship benefits can be found at the
MSU Graduate School
web site
College and University fellowships are also available, especially for female and minority students. Applicants do not need to apply for these fellowships. Instead, the Admissions Committee will forward the files of qualified applicants for nomination for these fellowships. For more information on these fellowships visit our financial aid page.
