It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been admitted to the Ph.D. graduate program in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. I am also pleased to offer you financial support in the form of a graduate assistantship award for Ph.D. students beginning in August 2006.
As a Ph.D. graduate assistant, you will receive a 12-month stipend of $23,650 for the academic year 2006-2007 payable in biweekly installments. This offer is contingent on standard government Federal I-9 clearance verifying employment eligibility in the United States. You will also receive a tuition waiver valued at $19,584 per year. You will only be responsible for paying university fees of approximately $723 per semester and, if you choose, the University will provide an opportunity for you to purchase highly subsidized health insurance.
