Graduate Assistantships

Graduate Research AssistantsWVU annually awards approximately 1,500 graduate assistantships supported by state appropriations, federal funds, private grants, and contracts. All graduate assistants are required to be full-time (nine hours or more) graduate students. Tuition and some fees are generally remitted. Graduate teaching and research assistantships are normally awarded by individual departments. Many units in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences employ teaching assistants for both lectures and laboratories. Other units, for example, the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources and Davis College, employ graduate students to assist with laboratories and faculty research. Applications should be made to the dean or director concerned or to the chairperson of the program in which the graduate work will be pursued.

Other Administrative and auxiliary units, such as the Office of Residence Life and Undergraduate Advising, also award a few graduate assistantships every year. Students wanting information about graduate assistantships should contact the departments in which they intend to complete a degree as well as the Office of Residence Life, (WVU, 82 Boreman North, PO Box 6430, Morgantown, WV 26506, phone 304-293-4686) and Undergraduate Advising (WVU Undergraduate Academic Services Center, PO Box 6212, Morgantown, WV 26506, phone 304-293-5805
