    1. Here is the funding package at Washington University in St. Louis for admission in Fall 2024:

  2. Hi there! UMass-Boston Classics MA/MAT is full tuition remission, health benefits, 22k TA stipends a year, and ample funding to do research or study abroad. -From a Fall 23 incoming UMB student

  3. The Catholic University of America has a MA program funded (I believe) by teaching, although they don’t list the stipend amounts, as far as I can see.

  4. Just found this great list via Pasts Imperfect and wanted to add one. North Dakota State University has full tuition compensation as well as a monthly stipend for both teaching and research assistants. This applies to the MA and PhD programs. Plus, the cost of living is very affordable.

    As a recent MA graduate, I would have really appreciated a list like this when I was on the search. I hope your hard work helps potential students find their way through the financial woes of grad school!
