Assistantships

Assistantships and part-time instructorships are available in most departments. These involve teaching, grading, laboratory assistance, etc. The stipends vary according to the duties and the amount of time required of the student. For information concerning assistantships, applicants should write directly to the chair of the department in which they are interested.

Out-of-state graduate students who are teaching assistants and are paid at least $4,000 may receive a tuition adjustment fellowship to pay the difference between the out-of-state and in-state tuition. Out-of-state research assistants and graduate assistants who are paid at least $4,000 may receive a tuition adjustment fellowship to pay a percentage (up to 100 percent) of the difference between out-of-state and in-state tuition.
