Financial Aid
A limited number of graduate assistantships are available on campus. Each graduate assistantship provides the recipient with a stipend of $6,000, in exchange for 20 hours of assistance in teaching or research. The Psychology Department awards assistantships on a competitive basis. Students provided with an instructional assistantship are assigned instructional responsibilities in the Advanced General Psychology, Experimental Psychology, and Physiological Psychology lab sections. Second-year students supported by instructional assistantships are normally provided opportunities to teach sections of Introduction to Psychology. Research assistantships are also sometimes available. Both teaching and research assistantship duties are performed by students under supervision of members of the psychology faculty. Other mechanisms of support are available in addition to departmental assistantships. Minority assistantships are offered through the School of Graduate Studies, and a number of assistantships from other units on campus are available to psychology students on a competitive basis. Since 1994, the Psychology Department has been awarded several Tuition Scholarships. Although they do not provide stipend support, Tuition Scholarships pay the recipient's tuition in full, including any out-of-state fees, in exchange for 8 hours of laboratory or classroom assistance per week. Awardees of either assistantships or Tuition Scholarships are normally supported for two years of full-time study.
