Qualified students may be awarded financial assistance through the Gatton College of Business and Economics
and The Graduate School. The majority of students receive financial assistance in the form of Teaching or
Research Assistantships. Assistantship continuations will be contingent upon demonstration of satisfactory academic
progress in the program and satisfactory performance of assistantship responsibilities. For first-year students,
the student's area DGS will determine student progress at the end of the first semester and may, if necessary,
recommend the continuation of the assistantship for one probationary semester.
Teaching Assistantships
The College of Business and Economics awards a number of teaching assistantships each year. Students generally
teach two sections of an introductory level course in their major area. The assistantship stipends currently
range between $11,848 to $12,933 per year. Assistantship recipients are eligible for tuition scholarships from
The Graduate School. In-state and out-of-state tuition scholarships are awarded.
Research Assistantships
Research assistants work with a professor on a research project. Also offered through the College, research
assistantships provide the same stipend as the teaching assistantships.
Tuition Scholarships
Students who are the recipients of Teaching Assistantships are eligible for tuition scholarships awarded by the
Graduate School. Teaching Assistants are nominated for tuition scholarships by the Director of Graduate
Studies. Full-time Teaching Assistants receive tuition scholarships that cover both in-state and out-of-state
tuition, registration and student activity fees. A teaching assistant on a half-time appointment receives a scholarship equivalent to half tuition and fees.
Research Assistants are nominated for Graduate School scholarships that cover both the in-state and out-ofstate
portion of tuition.
