A brief summary of the various types of graduate financial aid available for CE students is provided below. For information on these opportunities and how to apply visit the UTA Financial Aid and Scholarships page.
Research assistantships allow graduate students to conduct research for pay, offering a way to fund their education, enhance their studies, and support departmental research. These positions are typically secured through faculty connections, with most opportunities aimed at doctoral students, though master's students may also qualify if available.
For Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs), please contact faculty in your area of interest who are NOT Professors of Instruction. See the Faculty Directory.
Generally, GRAs are for Ph.D. students and M.S. thesis students.
To be admitted, Ph.D. students must find a faculty member who agrees to supervise their research. This faculty member will also typically provide financial support through RA or TA.
A teaching assistant (TA) supports the instructional process under faculty supervision, performing tasks such as lecturing, leading discussions, assisting in labs, tutoring, proctoring exams, and grading.
To learn about available graduate teaching assistantships, contact your faculty advisor.
Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAs) are mostly for Ph.D. students only.
To be admitted, Ph.D. students must find a faculty member who agrees to supervise their research. This faculty member will also typically provide financial support through a RA or TA.
Graders support faculty by evaluating student work, such as papers, quizzes, homework, and exams. They may use grading rubrics, check for plagiarism, and provide detailed, constructive feedback.
Master's students must complete their first semester at UTA to be eligible for a grader position, upon recommendation of a faculty member.
