Graduate Assistantships

In exchange for duties performed in research, teaching, and service, graduate assistantships provide a monthly stipend along with a tuition waiver scholarship. (Please note, the scholarship waives tuition only, payment of all applicable fees are the responsibility of the graduate assistant.)

To be considered for a graduate assistantship, begin by completing the online application in MyEIU. Most hiring units have a mid-February decision deadline when considering assistantship applications for the following academic year.
