There are several types of assistantships available to School of Education (SED) graduate students. To be eligible for consideration, you must be admitted to or currently enrolled in a graduate program in the School of Education.

Graduate assistantship awards generally range from $2,000 to $6,000 per semester and are in exchange for 12–16 hours of work per week in a department or for a designated faculty member. These assistantships fulfill full-time residency requirements for students enrolled for a minimum of 8 credits per semester for two consecutive semesters while serving as a teaching assistant. However, they do not provide tuition remission.

Schoolwide assistantships involving seminar instruction and practicum supervision are available for the following School of Education courses: ED 100 Introduction to Education, ED 410 Social Context of Education, ED 412 Civic Context of Education, and ED 500 Foundations of Educational Practice. Priority may be given to experienced teachers and continuing graduate students.

Assistantship awards for ED 100 and ED 500 are $6,000 per semester plus 8 credits of tuition remission (SED evening courses) per semester. These assistantships fulfill full-time residency requirements for students enrolled for a minimum of 8 credits per semester for two consecutive semesters while serving as a teaching assistant.

Assistantship awards for ED 410 and ED 412 are $4,000 per semester plus 4 credits of tuition remission (SED evening courses) per semester. These assistantships also fulfill full-time residency requirements for students enrolled for a minimum of 8 credits per semester. Assistantship applications are mailed with admissions letters.
