APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANTSHIP

Although a person may apply for more than one type of award, this form is to be used only for making application for a Departmental Assistantship. It must be sent directly to the graduate coordinator's office in the department in which the applicant plans to enroll so that it will be received no later than February 1.

Departments nominate a limited number of applicants for Graduate School Assistantships. Final selections are based on a University-Wide competition. Assistantships are granted for a one-year period. A new application must be completed and submitted to the department each year a student wishes to be nominated for the award.

Applicants for Graduate School assistantship consideration must first be admitted as prospective degree candidates; therefore all general application for admission materials must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions as soon as possible but no later than January 1.

Please complete this form and mail to:
