Graduate Assistantships

Full (20 hours per week) and partial graduate assistantships are available. These enable students to work between 10 and 20 hours per week in research- or teaching-related assignments. The stipend for graduate assistantships begins at approximately $1000 per month on a 20 hours per week basis for first year doctoral students. Stipends are made available on a 12 month basis. In addition, the University contributes to the graduate assistant's health insurance premiums.

The application form for admissions, formally titled Texas A&M University Application for Graduate Admissions, also serves as the form for a graduate assistantship and other financial assistance.

Information on other forms of financial aid (i.e., in addition to graduate assistantships) is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Graduate Assistants should be relatively flexible in arranging their hours of availability. Their faculty supervisors will evaluate their performance for continued receipt of support and employment opportunities. Doctoral students should always feel free to discuss their assistantship assignments with the PhD Program Coordinator, their Advisory Committee Chairperson, the Assistant Department Head, or the Department Head.
