In return the graduate assistant receives a full tuition waiver for the assigned semester as well as a small stipend. If an academic assistantship is awarded for both the fall and spring semesters, the student will receive a tuition waiver for both the Fall and Spring semesters, as well as the following Summer semester. Please be certain to include the required Graduate Assistantship form in your application packet. The Financial Aid Office is available to assist students with loans and deferments. Student loans may be deferred during the internship experiences and graduate studies.
Students are responsible for their own tuition for the final two semesters of the program.
Assistantships are not available for the last two semesters of the internship. Tuition waivers are also periodically granted by the department for the second year of the internship.
