financial assistance

The Department of Political Science offers teaching and research assistantships on a competitive basis to qualified Â鶹´«Ã½s each year. Assistantship stipends are competitive and include tuition remission. Graduate assistants typically work with faculty members conducting research or teaching undergraduate classes. Consideration for an assistantship is contingent upon admission to one of our graduate programs.

For new Â鶹´«Ã½s, indicate that you are applying for an assistantship while completing the admissions application. For current Â鶹´«Ã½s, complete the department application for graduate assistantship. Or if you prefer to complete the application via  PDF document or Word document. Additional financial aid Â鶹´«Ã½ may be available through the Graduate College.

Deadline: Feb. 1 to be considered for financial assistance for the following academic year. There is only one application deadline per year and funding support starts with the fall semester.
