What Is a Graduate Assistantship?
Graduate Assistantships (GA) provide valuable part-time professional experience and employment within the institution for graduate students. These opportunities not only provide practical higher education work experience, valuable to HESAA students, but also provide financial support for graduate education. Graduate Assistantships may provide tuition assistance and stipends for one academic year. Graduate Assistantships are not required for HESAA students.
