The
Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology provides funding
opportunities for qualified applicants to the Graduate Program through
departmental and faculty-funded research assistantships and University
and other fellowship programs. Supplemental funding is also available
from the NC State University Graduate School Diversity
Programs for individuals from under-represented groups who have been
accepted into the Graduate Program in Environmental and Molecular Toxicology.
Additional information on sources of support for graduate studies can

Note: Assistantships and fellowships are always in considerable demand and highly competitive. Therefore, completed applications should be sent to the department as early as possible. We usually do not accept PhD students unless they are awarded financial support through an assistantship or fellowship. Decisions are made early each spring concerning support for the following Fall semester. To be considered for support, applications should be completed by January 15 for Fall Semester.
Space is often limited and, at any time, a particular professor may not have laboratory space available for new students. It is advised that prospective students correspond directly with those professors in areas where they may wish to pursue their research and graduate studies.
