The Lynch School of Education awards fellowships, assistantships,
and/or scholarships to promising doctoral and master’s 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 Scholarships
Awards vary by discipline in both nature and size and 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.
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 admissions office compiles a listing of
assistantships, paid internships, and work-study positions both on
campus and off-campus. There are a number of academic departments,
schools, and organizations with which we have partnerships.
