Graduate Assistantships

For graduate assistantships or graduate teaching assistantships, many graduate students apply. Assistantships are positions that pay your tuition in full and come with a little stipend or compensation (referred to as a "tuition waiver"). In most cases, the total financial benefit comes close to covering all of a student's costs for an academic year.
