Funding Opportunities for the M. A.

---

Our program awards 2-4 graduate assistantships each year, which provides a two-year apprenticeship that prepares our graduates to teach at the collegiate level and provides both a monthly stipend and substantial, but not full, tuition support.

In year 1, GAs serve as embedded tutors within our ENG 100E/105 courses and assist in the Writing Center, receiving mentorship from the instructors of record, the Colonnade Coordinator, and the Writing Center Director. In year 2, GAs independently instruct 1-2 courses of ENG 100, Introduction to College Writing. Dependent upon the English department needs, exceptional GAs may also be offered the opportunity to teach ENG 200, Introduction to Literature.

GAs are classified as Kentucky residents for tuition and fee purposes.

Applications and letters of recommendation for graduate assistantship are submitted to Dr. Trini Stickle, Graduate Coordinator. Please use the following link to access our graduate assistantship application.
