How we support our PhD students

RA/TA Assistantships (2025-26 academic year)

  • 12 research assistants.
  • Nine teaching assistants.

University Graduate Fellowship (2025-26 academic year)

  • 11 students received Block Grant funding for a total of $52,000.

This fall, Arizona State University and Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation are celebrating a milestone: record-breaking enrollment. It’s a moment that fills us with pride and reaffirms the vital role nursing plays in shaping the future of health care.

As we welcome thousands of new faces into our classrooms, labs and communities, I’m reminded of something important: while this may be your and my twentieth “first day of school” in a university environment, for our students and their families, this is their very first.
