However, you need to know the realities. The Department does have six teaching assistantships, four require K-12 teaching experience. The other two assistantships require that the student be able to carry out necessary obligations. Each of the six assistantships offer additional fellowships which provide support equal to the out of state portion of the current tuition, if needed. Further the teaching assistantships offer a second fellowship which provides support equal to the in-state portion of the current tuition, if needed. Other research and graduate assistantships are available within the University Community and are typically derived from soft monies, which means they are announced from time-to-time throughout the academic year. Full and half-time research assistantships generally offer tuition fellowships. Further, no funds are available to support international students. The Graduate School suggests that you contact the US Embassy about grants, e.g., Fulbright, Rotary or other programs. The Department has no funds to support international students. Indeed, international applicants to our programs from outside the US must demonstrate to The Graduate School that you have funds to cover your expenses for a year.

While the foregoing might be bleak, EDP wants you to be aware of the funding opportunities.
