Financial Information

The identification of financial assistance and graduate assistantships is an important factor for many students admitted to the program.  Unfortunately, we are not able to provide guaranteed funding to support enrollment and living expenses.  However, the program has established a number of successful placements on campus and in the surrounding communities that have served as sources of employment for many of our students. 

The list of such graduate assistantships can be identified on the College of Education website.

 Many students apply directly to the campus Office of Residence Life for positions as residence Hall Advisors, while some apply for substitute teaching opportunities in schools in the surrounding communities.  Admitted students will receive a list of campus openings as they occur throughout the summer.  Newly admitted students are strongly encouraged to contact student mentors during the summer months for assistance with any questions regarding employment opportunities, housing, and other issues associated with adjustment to the university and community.  Due to 9-month academic appointments, program faculty members are typically not available for consultation during the summer month.
