Assistantships & Fellowships

There are a set number of graduate fellowships, research, and teaching assistantships available each year to qualified candidates.

• Fellowships are available on a competitive basis to highly qualified masters and doctoral and, depending on the specific award, may or may not require a specific work assignment.
  • To apply, contact the assistant dean for graduate studies at (765) 494-6875 and the professor you would like to work with.
    
• Graduate teaching and research assistantships provide a unique opportunity for graduate students to gain teaching experience and to work with faculty members in classrooms and laboratories related to their area of specialization.
  • To apply, contact the department head of the department you are most qualified to assist.

To assure that recipients of these assistantships progress satisfactorily toward their degree objective, graduate appointments are usually limited to no more than one-half-time (20 hours per week). All departments provide several types of graduate research and teaching assistantships.
