What They Cover

Assistantships include a full-tuition waiver and a competitive stipend for full-time students. A limited number of assistantships become available for spring semester. Submit your application with your Graduate School application.

Keep in Mind

Students meeting the graduate admission requirements of the School are eligible for a graduate assistantship; however, acceptance into the graduate program does not guarantee financial support will be awarded.
