Students awarded graduate teaching assistantships assist faculty teaching, including coordinating instructional activities and grading assignments. The appointments are typically 20 hours per week. Assistantships provide a stipend and, for non-Kansas residents, a waiver of non-resident tuition rates. Students awarded a graduate assistantship may also qualify for a waiver of 75-100% of their tuition.

If interested in a graduate assistantship, please indicate your interest in the letter of intent. Please discuss why you would like the opportunity to become a graduate assistant and what makes you an ideal candidate.
