Assistantships

Students admitted to graduate programs may compete for graduate assistantships.

Most academic departments award a limited number of graduate assistantships to highly qualified students.  Several of these are open to applicants who have been admitted to the graduate program but have not yet enrolled.

Applicants interested in departmental assistantships may contact their departments directly before they arrive.  Graduate assistantships carry work responsibilities, such as research or teaching duties.  The award provides a stipend as well as a reduction of out-of-state tuition.  For information, contact your graduate program director.
