Financial Aid + Costs

Assistantships

Graduate assistantships provide financial assistance to students, allowing them to work closely with faculty members on specific research or teaching assignments.

  • Assistantships are funded by the College or through research grants received by the department or individual faculty.
  • The department may also nominate a limited number of highly qualified students for university-wide assistantships.
  • Assistantships are competitive and are generally awarded on a 9-month, academic year basis.
  • TMI Graduate Assistantships are generally one-third time assistantships, requiring 13 hours of work per week during each semester.

Tuition is waived for graduate students holding assistantships but some fees must be paid by the student.
