WSU Graduate School Assistantships

WSU Assistantships

Assistantships provide financial support to a graduate student who engages in teaching (Teaching Assistant), research (Research Assistant), or other duties (Graduate Assistant) at Washington State University.

Graduate programs may make TA or RA assistantship offers during the admissions process; however, current students may be eligible for an assistantship in their program when funding is available. Assistantships may include a tuition waiver, health insurance, and a monthly stipend. Students should contact their graduate program to learn more about assistantship opportunities. Learn more.
