●The backstory
Why PhDStipend exists
We're data people. PhDStipend began as our own reference file on PhD stipend by university: every PhD funding comparison we could verify, organized so we could find it again. When the file got big enough, keeping it private felt wasteful, so we published it.
Now PhDStipend covers cost of living adjusted PhD stipend and much more. Our rule hasn't changed: PhD funding comparison backed by real numbers, cost of living adjusted PhD stipend explained in plain language, no filler. And for readers who want more than guides, we offer cost-of-living adjusted offer reports for admitted students
