Teaching Assistantships

 
Applicants may apply for a teaching assistantship by indicating their interest on the graduate school application form. A teaching assistant normally has duties equivalent to teaching an average of 3 to 4 hours per week. The stipend for the current academic year is $10,000 for graduate teaching assistants in our M.A. program and $14,000 for graduate teaching assistants in our Ph.D. program. Registration, tuition, incidental and non-resident fees are waived. Other fees of about $1200 per semester (including health insurance) are not waived. Fee waivers without an assistantship are not provided.

Each summer the department awards a number of graduate summer research scholarships of $3,200. These awards are given on a competitive basis, and any student admitted to the Graduate Program in the Department of Mathematical Sciences is eligible to apply.

Annually, the department nominates 2-3 graduate students for B. Morton Fellowships ($3,000) and Scholarships ($2,000). These awards are given by the Graduate School of UM on a competitive basis.

A limited number of summer assistantships are available too.

Applications are processed on a rolling basis; review of applications for Teaching Assistantships will start February 1 and continue until all positions have been filled; applicants are strongly encouraged to complete their applications by February 1 or soon after.
Application and admission information (including links to download forms) are located on the admission page.
