The Department of Public Administration and Policy offers a number of teaching and research assistantships that presently carry stipends for a
ten-month academic year. The Graduate School also offers assistantships. In addition, faculty members occasionally hire research assistants to work on funded research projects. Recipients of assistantships automatically receive a tuition waiver, regardless of their residency status. Finally, the Graduate School provides a limited number of waivers of out-of-state tuition for non-Georgia residents. 

Students receiving assistantships and meeting departmental standards of performance in their academic work and their assistantships are eligible for up to four semesters of support for the MPA program and up to six semesters of support for the doctoral program. 
The deadline for applying for an assistantship is February 1 for the following academic year.
