Assistantships and Fellowships

What You Need to Know

A limited number of graduate assistantships and fellowships are available to graduate students.

In these roles, graduate students provide a minimum number of hours per week to the department. In return, students generally receive a combination of tuition remission and a stipend. Many of these programs are administered by individual academic departments, but some opportunities are available to students in any graduate program.

If you are hired as a graduate student and file the FAFSA, federal loan eligibility will be impacted by the funding of the graduate assistant contract. Total resources from loans, grants, scholarships and graduate assistant funding cannot exceed the cost of attendance.

Example Assistantships

The graduate assistantship program is a competitive program and assistantships are limited. Assistantships can be awarded within any of the following SEHS departments: Counselor Education & Human Services, Educational Administration, Heath & Sport Science, Physical Therapy, and Teacher Education.

Specific opportunities can be found on the School of Education and Health Sciences website. Resumes are accepted for each academic year December 1 to March 1.

Religious Studies Assistantships
