Typically, students admitted to the O’Neill School doctoral programs receive a tuition and fee waiver, health insurance, and a stipend as a part of a student academic appointment. The stipend is updated annually according to a university established cost of living adjustment schedule (this was $2,400/ month for 2025-2026). A student academic appointment (SAA) consists of a 20-hour per week work assignment. The O’Neill School doctoral degrees are awarded by the Indiana University Graduate School Bloomington.
