Financial Aid<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> student assistantships are designed not only to provide financial aid to graduate<br />
students, but also to provide an opportunity for you to work closely with members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
faculty in a collegial, learning relationship.<br />
• Teaching assistants are appointed by the assistant dean for advanced practice nursing.<br />
Research assistants are appointed by the assistant dean for research and the Ph.D.<br />
program. Each assistant receives a letter <strong>of</strong> appointment indicating the duration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
appointment, the stipend, and the faculty member with whom the student will work.<br />
• Each assistant works with a faculty member who is responsible for making the teaching<br />
and research assignments and for mentoring the student.<br />
• <strong>Graduate</strong> assistants in the M.S.N. and Ph.D. programs are eligible for out-<strong>of</strong>-state tuition<br />
scholarships from the <strong>Graduate</strong> School. All graduate assistants are eligible for staff<br />
parking privileges, and a 10 percent bookstore discount. In addition to the <strong>University</strong><br />
orientation program, graduate assistants attend a <strong>University</strong> orientation conference.<br />
• <strong>Graduate</strong> assistants will not be required to work more than an average <strong>of</strong> 15-20 hours a<br />
week.<br />
• <strong>Graduate</strong> assistants may carry no more than 10 credit hours <strong>of</strong> course work per semester<br />
without approval <strong>of</strong> their respective assistant dean.<br />
• <strong>Graduate</strong> assistants must maintain an overall 3.0 GPA.<br />
