Admissions & Aid
Our programs boast a wide range of sub-disciplinary studies, coordinated by our distinguished faculty noted for their discipline-defining research and pedagogical expertise.
Getting Started
Bryn Mawr's co-educational Graduate School of Arts and Sciences invites applications from academically prepared prospective students. Applicants are strongly advised to make personal contact with the Director of Graduate Studies and faculty members in the departments to which they plan to apply.
Affordability
We know that affordability is a critical consideration in your exploration of graduate programs. Bryn Mawr offers graduate students a number of financial support opportunities.
Financial support includes fellowships, teaching assistantships, and Graduate Assistantships for the academic years as well as Supplemental Summer Support. All Fellowships and Assistantships include health insurance coverage and a tuition award.
Financial support packages for a full-time GSAS student include an annual stipend ($33,500-$36,000 in 2025-2026), access to supplemental summer research funding (up to $5000 in Summer 2026), tuition coverage, and a health insurance subsidy. This year, we are working to bring our financial support packages into parity with our peers.
The Academic Year financial support is awarded during the admissions process and there is no additional application to complete - all you need to do is answer yes to the question “do you wish to be considered for financial support” on your application.
