In addition to a full tuition waiver, our students currently receive an annual stipend of 33,302 as well as a budget for research and travel and health insurance for all five years. Annenberg is the smallest of the 12 schools at Penn, and it functions as close-knit community of scholars whose doors are always open to one another. Our students also appreciate our staff, who routinely go above and beyond to support them.
