Our graduate assistantships are competitive and are one-year appointments, although many students do continue into a second year. The School of Education (SOE) has a varying number that might be available any given year (usually two to three) depending on current Graduate Assistants (GA's) and where they are in their program work.

To be eligible for an assistantship, the student has to be admitted to an SOE graduate program (and stay in good standing to keep the assistantship). The GA's are chosen by their respective departments. The assistantship provides the following:

• $4,500 stipend for the year ($500/month for nine-month assistants and $375/month for twelve-month assistants).

• Eighteen hours of graduate tuition waiver (nine-month assistants: nine hours Fall and nine hours Spring; twelve-month assistants: six hours Summer, six hours Fall, six hours Spring).

• With an assistantship, the student provides 20 hours a week of service to the department on a nine-month assistantship and 15 hours a week of service on twelve-month assistantship.

• In the application process, the student submits the GA application, a letter of interest (outlining the student's background and experiences), a resume and two letters of recommendation from professors with whom they have worked.
