The Lynch School is dedicated to funding full-time Ph.D. students for the first two years of their program through assistantships, which pay a monthly stipend and include tuition remission.

An assistantship with a faculty member or administrator usually requires approximately 20 hours of work each week between the months of September and May.  Doctoral tuition scholarships and stipends are very competitive with other schools.

Students continue to fund their remaining years through a number of opportunities, including research assistantships and teaching fellowships, which not only provide funding but also important training and experience.

The greatest number of assistantship opportunities for Master’s students are in administrative offices both in the Lynch School and across campus. Each year, the Office of Graduate Admission compiles a listing of assistantships, paid internships, and work-study positions both on and off campus for admitted Lynch School students.  Most assistantships require a separate interview process.  The listing of positions is included within our acceptance packet.

The Office of Graduate Student Life also compiles a listing of available positions open to all graduate students at the University.

Additional scholarships for Master's students are available based on academic achievement.  These scholarships are determined at the time of admission by the faculty or, in some instances, by special application.
