Are there Research or Teaching Assistantships available as an alternative source of funding?
Yes, students are frequently recruited by faculty as teaching and research assistants and receive compensation for their work. Many faculty actively participate in the Federal Workstudy program. It is recommended that you consult with your advisor with regard to the amount of work undertaken during your studies to assure that you have a reasonable balance with course work. In general, 10 hours a week of work is the maximum suggested when taking a full course load.
