Assistantships include the remission of nonresident tuition and certain fees. Graduate teaching assistants are required to help in the laboratory and the classroom. However, the amount of service required does not exceed 20 hours a week so an assistant can carry approximately two-thirds of the normal graduate program course load. Through the Purdue Research Foundation, a limited number of research assistantships in health sciences have been made available for intensive, scientific training of capable, creative graduate students in health sciences. Appointments are made on an annual basis and are subject to renewal.
Stipends vary, and all awards include remission of nonresident tuition and certain fees.
