General Information
The GPSA has a limited number of research assistantships to award each year. To be considered
for these funds, students must have a complete application on file with the program and must have
an identified GPSA faculty advisor. Generally, program assistantships are awarded to new
students and are limited to one year in duration.
Additional financial assistance may be provided through faculty research grants and by
resources available through participating departments. Applicants are encouraged to
contact GPSA faculty members directly to discuss possible sources of
support. Assistance through these channels may be in the form of research and/or teaching
assistantships.
On occasion, special fellowships may also be offered. Information about such programs will be
posted on this page and the GPSA home page when applicable.
