Both teaching and research assistantships are available. Awards begin at $7200.00 per year with a full in-state and out-of-state tuition waiver and may be enhanced on a competitive basis. To apply for these awards, the College requires that incoming students undergo the Teaching Assistant Workshop at the beginning of the Fall Semester .
