GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS

Graduate assistantships are awarded to provide graduate students with additional study and experience in their field through interaction with faculty and staff. Graduate assistants may be assigned to instructional, laboratory, research, and/or other professional duties. A graduate assistant works under the direct supervision of a graduate faculty member or full-time professional employee with a Master’s degree or equivalent experience and expertise in the area of the assignment.
Graduate assistantships are available to highly qualified graduate students. WSU Regulation 3-10 governs the requirements, responsibilities and hiring procedures for graduate assistants. In addition to a WSU contract, students must also sign the Condition of Employment for Graduate Assistants. Graduate assistants receive a stipend and tuition assistance. Applicants should submit applications for assistantships to the appropriate department chairperson/program director. Anyone who has been appointed to a graduate assistantship prior to the first day of classes shall be granted resident tuition status for the period of the appointment. The application form can be found on the Graduate Studies web site at: www.winona.edu/graduatestudy.
