(TAs) and research assistants (RAs). These funding packages may include a stipend,
tuition benefit, and health insurance, in exchange for about 20 hours of work per
week. Please reach out to the Director of Graduate Studies or Chair in your department
for more information on opportunities, eligibility, and application. Note: TA and
RA funding packages are prioritized for PhD students.
