Assistantships and Tuition Remission

All students admitted to the doctoral program in school psychology for the 2012-13 academic year received graduate assistantships.  Students received a stipend of approximately $11,127 as part of their assistantship for the academic year and should receive approximately $1669.05 for a half-time assistantship during the summer semester (if money is available).  However, all students who applied for a summer assistantship in the past 7 years received them. Along with the stipend, students are given full tuition remission for the academic year and can enroll in up to 12 credit hours per semester. If a student has an assistantship for both semesters during an academic year, they also are eligible to receive full tuition remission during the summer terms/semester, regardless of whether they have a summer assistantship assignment. Students can enroll for 6 credit hours if they have a full-time summer assistantship. Historically (for the past 7 years), all students in the doctoral program have received graduate assistantships including the tuition remission every year of the program prior to leaving for internship. This has typically equated to 3 to 5 years of funding and tuition remission. All students in the program were full-time students prior to leaving for internship.
