AWARDS
Graduate Assistantship
The Department awards many graduate assistantships to qualified full-time graduate students. These are usually funded from research grants or contracts awarded to individual faculty members. In return, we expect that the graduate assistants perform research-related tasks assigned by the professor from whose grant the assistantship is paid. A good part, but not necessarily all of this work, can be used for preparing a thesis. There are no special application forms for graduate assistantships. Applicants who indicate a need for support on their application form will be considered.
