Graduate Assistantships
Graduate Student Assistantships are a form of student employment that includes compensation in the form of a stipend, tuition, and lab/course fees.
- Graduate Assistantship (GRA/GTA) recipients perform research, teaching, or administrative services for the University as part of a student’s academic and professional training and development. All applicants to the Graduate School are automatically considered for graduate assistantship opportunities. A separate graduate assistantship application is not needed. All Michigan Tech graduate programs offer assistantships.
