Graduate Assistantship Program
The Graduate Assistantship program provides opportunities for qualified graduate students to participate as research assistants or graduate assistants. To apply for a graduate assistantship/graduate research assistantship, candidates should complete the

Each applicant who is selected as a graduate assistantship recipient must be enrolled for a minimum of six credits during each of the semesters in which the student serves as a graduate assistant and must not be receiving any other source of financial aid. Graduate assistants/research assistants work 10 hours per week (or 150 hours per semester) during a semester and receive a 3-credit voucher and a $500 stipend each semester. A maximum number of four assistantship semesters are allowed per student.
