Teaching Assistants
Appointments as Teaching Assistants (compensation taxable) are normally available to all entering students. Typically first-year students work as TA's during the academic year (20 hours per week) and are then supported as Research Assistants during the summer.
The stipend is $18,519 (academic year) plus $4,260 (Summer RA) for a total stipend of $22,779 (taxable) for the calendar year. Full tuition remission (10 credits each semester) is included but students do have to pay mandatory fees of approximately $540 each semester. State of Maryland health benefits are available at the same discounted premium as enjoyed by faculty and staff. Teaching assistants are normally awarded for 2 years subject to satisfactory progress. Normally students receive support in the form of a research assistantship within this 2 year period.
Fellowships
A small number of Departmental Fellowships are available. All applications completed by February 1 will automatically be considered for these Fellowships.
