Graduate Assistantships

  • A graduate assistantship provides real-world experience working with faculty in your academic discipline while helping to meet your college expenses. An assistantship will strengthen your academic experience and develop your professional skills. Depending on your program and area of interest, an assistantship may include scholarly research, program administration or student support services.

  • Types of Assistantships

    Federal or state work assistantships

    These assistantships require financial aid documentation and financial eligibility, and include a July 31 deadline. It’s part of a total financial aid award.

    Institutional assistantships

    These assistantships do not require financial qualifications.

    Assistantships are assigned in the summer; early application is encouraged.
