We also have a number of teaching assistantships and research assistantships for which you may be eligible as an incoming student depending upon your qualifications, your area of specialization, and the availability of assistantships. Teaching assistantships also become available at different times of the year depending upon course needs or as students graduate. Graduate fellowships are available to a few highly qualified incoming students through the University of Minnesota Graduate School. Graduate School Fellowship stipends are similar to this. Summer support for teaching assistants is available in the form of teaching assistantships and occasional research fellowships.
Advanced students are also eligible for a variety of other fellowships.
Please do not wait. You can maximize your chances for receiving a fellowship, research assistantship, or teaching assistantship by applying before 15 December 1998. Final decisions and notifications will be made by 15 April 1999 for the entering fall class. Congratulations on your decision to consider attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota. The University of Minnesota's Graduate Program in Plant Biological Sciences is internationally recognized and growing.
