Teaching Fellows (TFs) receive a monthly stipend and 15 credits of tuition remission per academic year while teaching a maximum of two language courses per semester (not exceeding six hours of instruction per week). TFs receive tuition remission for a total of five courses per academic year. Tuition remission for continuing fees may also be available to TFs who have completed course work.
Ph.D. candidates teach only one course per semester in their first and third years and can normally expect five years of support in the form of a teaching fellowship. M.A. candidates will be allowed to teach for a maximum of two years. While M.A.T. candidates are not usually eligible for Teaching Fellowships, they may apply for them, along with all other candidates or current graduate students. Annual renewal of all Teaching Fellowships is subject to satisfactory performance.
Appointments and awards are competitive and based upon the candidate's academic credentials and experience. For all those seeking a Teaching Fellowship, an interview (in person or by telephone) with an RLL faculty member is required.
