Financial Aid
Most of our graduate students are supported as teaching assistants in their first year, although a first-year student may occasionally be granted support in the form of a research assistantship.
Teaching Assistantships
Starting Fall 2024, teaching assistants will be paid $20,685.60 for the ten-month teaching year and a $1,000 scholarship, plus premiums for the Student Health Insurance Program (currently $2,200) will be paid for the year. The department supplements this with a summer scholarship of $5,000-$8,000, bringing the total support for the year to at least $28,885.60.
The exact amount of an assistantship is set by the state legislature. In addition to this annual support, out-of-state tuition is waived, and all resident tuition and registration fees, which are currently set at $5,408 per semester, will be paid.
