Admission to the program qualifies students for a research stipend (currently $24,000/year). In addition, tuition is generally waived for students in the Program of Molecular Pharmacology and Cancer Therapeutics.

The program holds a prestigious NIH T32 Training Grant to further support student stipends and student travel. At almost 40 years of continuous funding, the T32 grant of the Pharmacology program is the longest running grant of its kind in the U.S.

Students applying prior to February 15 are also considered for the prestigious Woodburn and Presidential graduate fellowships, which offer an additional stipend of $4,500 per year for the first four years of graduate school, as well as additional monies for travel to scientific meetings and conferences.
