Graduate Assistantships

The College of Saint Rose sponsors approximately 85 graduate assistantship (GA) positions each academic year in order to provide qualified full-time graduate students with financial assistance and opportunities to augment their educational experiences. A GA appointment offers a student the opportunity to engage in meaningful professional development activities in administrative or research areas while working with faculty and administrators.

The selection process is competitively based and may include an interview. Graduate assistantships are awarded for the academic year (fall and spring semesters) and require a minimum commitment of 150 hours of work per semester. The award amount is valued at $6,400.00 per year ($3,200 per semester), which is posted to the student’s account as a grant upon completion of each semester’s required work hours. A graduate assistantship award may affect a student’s financial aid eligibility status; therefore, it is strongly recommended that prior to accepting the award, students consult with the Office of Financial Aid.

The Graduate Assistantship Program is administered by the Office of Graduate and Continuing Education Admissions. Complete information including eligibility requirements, policies and procedures, and application requirements can be accessed on the Graduate Admissions section of The College of Saint Rose web site.
