Graduate Student Experiences with Two Sigma
Financial Support to Focus on Research

Two Sigma Fellowship Recipients receive many forms of financial support, including:
- An award for two consecutive academic years of up to $75,000 USD per academic year to cover tuition and fees plus a stipend for living expenses, in the form of an unrestricted gift paid directly to the university
- A one-time award of $10,000 USD paid to the Fellowship recipient directly, which, as a condition of the fellowship, may only be used for tuition, fees required to enroll at or attend their university, and books, supplies, equipment and course-related fees for courses at their university
The financial provisions of Two Sigma fellowships help support doctorate students so they can better focus on their research.
