Teaching Assistantships
A number of teaching assistantships are awarded every year to support students pursuing the Master of Science in Mathematics. The assistantship includes a waiver of all
fees and tuition, student health insurance, and a stipend of $13,000 to cover living expenses.
Important Notice: It is a program requirement that graduate students holding a teaching assistantship have to be enrolled with at least 9 credits
in classes towards the degree (meaning that those credits can be used for the MS in mathematics degree). Moreover those students, which have been awarded a teaching
assistantship, must take the class MATH 579 (Teaching College Mathematics) when they begin their teaching assistantship, or as soon as possible. Exceptions are possible
when it can be verified that she or he has sufficient experience in teaching at the College level.
Research Assistantships
Two graduate research fellowships are available for Summer 2009.
Students will be paid $3,000

Graduate Residential Scholars Program
Participants in the Graduate Residential Scholars Program (GRSP) live in an on-campus residential community of graduate students representing diverse backgrounds and
disciplinary interests. Each scholar is awarded a graduate assistantship that includes a stipend ($10,000 per academic year), full waiver of tuition and fees, and free
