FAQ - How do I obtain a teaching assistantship or fellowship?

Question
How do I obtain a teaching assistantship or fellowship?
Answer

Graduate teaching, research assistantships, and fellowships are awarded by individual academic departments.

You must contact the graduate advisor in your department. Applicants interested in being considered should inform the graduate advisor in their program as soon as possible.

Graduate students admitted to the Arizona Online campus will only be considered for federal financial aid including the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Graduate PLUS Loan, and Federal Work Study and are therefore not eligible to apply for a teaching assistantship and/or fellowship.
