EDL financial aid and scholarships

The Department has a number of Graduate Assistantships (GA) and Teaching Associateships (TA) available for graduate students in full-time residency in the Ph.D programs in Educational Leadership. While most of these are reserved for doctoral students, a few are also open to Master’s students in the Curriculum and Teacher Leadership Program. (Students enrolled in the Student Affairs and Higher Education program (SAHE) should check their program advisor for information about assistantships.) In addition, the department has several scholarship opportunities.

• Teaching Associateships (TA) provide full-time doctoral students with a stipend of about $15,000 for half-time duties for two semesters, plus remission of tuition for two semesters and the subsequent summer session. TAs carry between 10 and 14 hours of graduate courses and perform duties (normally teaching or research assistance for a professor) equivalent to 20 hours per week. TAs must be full-time students and cannot hold any other full-time employment. Click HERE for more information about full time EDL Teaching Associateship positions.
