To be considered for an assistantship, a graduate student must have a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for the last 60 semester hours of undergraduate work or a GRE score of 1000 of the combined verbal and quantitative sections of the examination. The graduate assistant must achieve a 3.00 GPA each term and maintain a 3.0 cumulative average to continue in the assistantship. Graduate students may apply directly to the Department of Psychology for graduate assistantships or other departments on campus by completing and returning a Graduate Assistantship application to each appropriate office. All graduate assistantships carry a stipend and a full tuition waiver for the semester in which the assistantship is held and the following summer semester. Assistantships do carry a work responsibility.
Graduate students are eligible for regular part-time student worker positions.
The federal government pays 70 percent of the Work-Study student's earnings. These awards are made through the Financial Aid Office and can be applied to graduate assistantships and student worker positions. This form is available at financial aid offices at most universities. Graduate tuition waivers are awarded on a competitive basis by the Department of Psychology to students who show promise for success and who have not received a fellowship or other award funding tuition costs. To apply, complete and return the tuition waiver application and the Selective Service Statement.
