Graduate Assistantships

The University provides a limited number of graduate assistantships, graduate teaching assistantships, and graduate research assistantships for qualified graduate students. Stipends vary according to the assignment and educational level of the applicant. Information regarding appointment procedures and remuneration is located on the Graduate School website. Graduate Assistantships (GAs) are designed to enhance the student's scholarly and professional development. 

A GA is both a student and a staff or faculty member. As a student, the GA is expected to maintain high academic standards to retain the assistantship. As a staff or faculty member, the GA is expected to complete research and teaching responsibilities in a timely and efficient manner. GAs receive a stipend for contributing to the university's teaching and research mission.

To find an available Assistantship, students should contact their department, a department related to their field of study, or a university support services office. They can also visit Career Connections to search for assistantship opportunities.

Students apply for an assistantship through TWU Connect and Handshake.
