Formal application and letters of recommendation should be submitted to the department in the winter preceding the academic year for which the appointment is desired. Notification of assistantships is made by the Graduate College. Students should contact their academic department if they have questions. In addition to graduate assistantships available through academic departments, there are a variety of other financial aid opportunities for graduate students at Bowling Green State University. The Cooperative Education office also arranges internships and externships.
Many students are able to locate internships and externships that pay a stipend.
The amount of the stipend varies. The instructional, non-resident, and parking registration fees are sometimes paid by the University. Applications are provided by the academic department, the Cooperative Education office, or the agency providing the internship or externship. Deadline date depends on when the student plans to begin the internship. Contact the academic department or Cooperative Education for information on specific internship sites.
