Graduate Assistantship

Each year Lincoln Memorial University offers a limited number of graduate assistantship positions when funding is available. When a graduate assistantship is well-conceived and executed, it serves as an ideal instrument to facilitate progress toward a graduate degree while assisting with expenses.

 

Overview

  • Before applying for a graduate assistantship, an applicant must have applied for enrollment in a graduate program. All requirements for admission to degree candidacy must be completed before a graduate assistantship position can be awarded.
  • Academic or University departments seeking graduate assistants will review applications and conduct interviews. Students will be contacted if a department wishes to interview them for an open position.
  • The Office of Student Financial Services will issue an award letter to each student receiving a graduate assistantship. The letter must be signed by all parties before the student can begin work.
