Graduate Assistantships
Wayne State College is authorized to award Graduate Assistantships in each graduate major field. These assistantships provide a teaching stipend for the academic year, plus tuition, and permit the holder to enroll for no more than nine (9) hours of graduate work while teaching the equivalent of six (6) hours at the undergraduate level.
Consideration for Graduate Assistantships is given only to applicants who plan to earn the graduate degree at this institution. Candidates must have a scholastic record above average, teaching experience, and appropriate recommendations.
The Application for Graduate Assistantship Position can be obtained from the Graduate Office. It must be completed and submitted to the Graduate Office at Wayne State College by April 1. The assistantships awarded for the following year will be announced on or near April 15.
A candidate for Graduate Assistantship must submit his scores on the Graduate Record Examination General Test or the Graduate Management Admission Test. For additional information, correspond directly with the Graduate Office.
Graduate Assistantships are offered either on a full-time
basis (fall and spring semesters, compensation of
$4,500 and 18 hours of tuition waiver) or a part-time
basis (either fall semester or spring semester, compensation
of $2,250 and 9 hours of tuition waiver).
Upon being awarded a Graduate Assistantship, each graduate assistant is asked to complete a Graduate Assistant Information form each semester. This information is used as support in determining graduate assistant allocations during budget conferences.
