The Department awards a number of Graduate Assistantships each year on the basis of academic merit. Work responsibility may include research assistance, teaching, or other appropriate professional tasks. Applications are made directly to the Director of Graduate Studies. They are awarded through the Graduate School by a committee composed of representatives of eligible graduate programs on campus. Fellows receive appointments as Graduate Assistants.
Application is made by Departmental recommendation only.
Summer support for students attending the Summer Semester may be arranged through individual faculty members or from Departmental resources. Guaranteed student loans are available through the Financial Aid Office. If you plan to be in the St. Louis area, let us know in advance. We will be delighted to show you the campus and the community and to introduce you to some of our faculty and students.
