The Division of Public Administration awards a limited number of graduate assistantships and tuition waivers to deserving graduate students. In addition, the department has a number of paid internships which help support graduate level work.
Awards are competitive, with more students seeking financial assistance than is available.
Applicants interested in applying for a graduate assistantship should contact the department for an application form. Graduate assistants assist in important departmental activities, including computer lab assistance, placement, off-campus programs including healthcare administration, research projects and so forth. Applicants interested in being considered for a tuition waiver should write a letter to the Chair applying for a tuition waiver. The letter should state the need for a tuition waiver. The awards committee will then consider the letter and the other material in the student file in making its decisions.
