Enhanced Graduate Teaching Assistantships and Graduate Teaching Fellowships
Highly qualified new Ph.D. candidates for fall admission are selected for an Enhanced Graduate Teaching Assistant (EGTA) stipend of $2.400 per month for nine months (fall and spring semesters). Additional support is provided during the summer for teaching or research. In addition, the EGTA stipend provides full tuition coverage and health care benefits. Overall, this package is currently worth more than $30.000 per year.

Other College of Science Criteria
The above are minimum requirements for award selection. The Department Committee will evaluate the candidate's credentials and take into account all factors such as recommendation letters from faculty mentors, prior experiences, and all forms of academic assessment. Performance in standardized tests, while obviously useful for evaluations, will be one set of criteria but not the only one. However, standardized test performance cannot be the sole or primary determinant of a decision to end consideration of applicant for this award. Clearly, excellence in academic performance and potential to satisfactorily complete the graduate curriculum coupled with evidence for research talent and scholarship will weigh heavily toward award of the Enhanced Graduate Teaching Assistantship and Graduate Teaching Fellowship.
The Enhanced Graduate Teaching Assistantship and Graduate Teaching Fellowship will not be in effect during summer Terms. However, a limited amount of summer support depending on departmental needs and funding may be available through regular GTA appointments. These appointments typically provide tuition benefits.
The offer is subject to all relevant provisions of the Graduate Assistantship Policy of the University. It is contingent upon satisfactory completion of all pre-employment screening requirements, including a criminal background check for security sensitive positions.
