Per the UCSC website, effective fall '20, fully funded PhD students will be receiving a total of $43k annually (ignoring OOS). Take out the $13k for tuition/fees which is a pass thru, and they receive $30k in cash comp over 9 months. That includes ~$5k for medical, which can be waived with other coverage. In addition, the campus will be offering an extra $2400 for a housing adjustment, bringing the total to $33+k over 9 months.

Any summer research or TA’ing and/or Fellowships are on top.

Is this the result of the strike?
