TA stipends are no less than $14,000. (The cost of living in Lincoln is reasonable.) We typically get one additional Chancellor's Fellowship for an incoming student (which provides an additional $4000 per year for two years.) We typically have available Edgren Fellowships for unfunded students (which reduce tuition to in-state levels for out-of-state students). The Hinman Fellowship is a year-long dissertation fellowship (with no teaching responsibilities) awarded to one advanced student each year.
