Graduate Research Assistantships

If you desire to be considered for a graduate assistantship, you will be invited to complete the  GRA application form after you have been offered admission. Several of our faculty members have grants and contracts that support PhD students through Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs). A 10-month, 20-hour-per-week GRA provides a student with a stipend of over $23,000, health insurance, and up to 10 credits of tuition remission for the fall and spring semesters. Completing the application does not guarantee assignment to an assistantship. Assistantships are assigned on a competitive basis.
