Departmental Awards

Many departments award Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA), Graduate Student Assistantships (GSA), and Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA). These awards provide a stipend, assistance for 6-10 credits of graduate tuition per term, and subsidized health and dental insurance coverage. As a GTA, GSA, or GRA, the student spends about 20 hours per week in teaching, research, or related duties. Fellowships, scholarships, internships and traineeships may also be available. Information concerning these awards may be obtained by contacting the department in which the student plans to major. Awards are made early in the calendar year.
