Financial support is not available from the Oral Sciences Graduate Program. The University's Office of Financial Aid website can provide information regarding types of available aid including loans. They have dedicated advisors on all UB campuses to assist students with questions about financing their educational expenses. They are also available to meet with students one-on-one and cater financial aid requests to each individual’s needs.
Part-time jobs, such as tutoring undergraduate students or working in the campus libraries, are available on campus on a competitive basis. A paid research assistant position may become available after one year, but is not guaranteed.
