Fellowships, Assistantships, and Scholarships
The Lynch School of Education awards fellowships, assistantships, and/or scholarships to promising doctoral students to aid them in the pursuit of their graduate studies. Examples of awards made are:
- Graduate Assistantships
- Research Assistantships
- Teaching Assistantships
- Teaching Fellowships
- Dean’s Awards (tuition remission awards)
Awards vary by discipline in both nature and size and awards are generally made at the time of admission. A complete admission application qualifies you for consideration of these awards. The scholastic requirements for obtaining these stipend awards are necessarily more exacting than those for simply securing admission to the Graduate School.
An assistantship with a faculty member or administrator usually requires approximately 20 hours of work each week between the months of September and May. The assistantships generally include tuition remission plus a monthly stipend. Doctoral tuition scholarships and stipends are very competitive with other schools. There are a number of half-time assistantships also available.
