Graduate Assistantship and Fellowship Policies
14. Graduate Assistantship and Fellowship Policies
A graduate assistantship provides financial support for pursuing graduate studies in the form of employment. In return for contribution to the academic mission of North Dakota State University through teaching, research, or administrative service, students receive a stipend, and if requirements are met, a waiver of graduate base tuition may be granted at the discretion of the graduate program’s academic college. A graduate assistantship may involve research or teaching experiences conducted off-campus. In these instances, the experience should be clearly linked to the student’s Plan of Study and involve a collaborative relationship between NDSU and the outside entity.
Students with Graduate Fellowships who are contracted to work in NDSU laboratories and/or classrooms must adhere to Graduate Assistant Policies.
