Graduate Assistantships
Through assistantships, full-time students have the opportunity to assist faculty and administrators in meeting their teaching, research, and administrative obligations. In return, students receive tuition assistance and a stipend or salary. Every year the School of Education awards approximately 100 assistantships. The total remunerative value of an assistantship is a "package" including both tuition support and a stipend or salary, as well as an out-of-state tuition waiver, if applicable.
Assistantships are available in other offices on the William and Mary campus as well as in other educational agencies in the community. Although the level of financial support provided in these assistantships usually equals and can even exceed the support provided through the School of Education, the exact dollar value varies each year and is determined by the individual agencies.
The College of William and Mary School of Education makes an effort to help connect all students who are interested in serving as a Graduate Assistant with potential opportunities on campus. However, there are often more students than openings, so we encourage students to begin identifying assistantships they are interested in and gearing their application and resume to the needs of that department. Please remember that this is an application [pdf] for a job in a working office, so your contact with potential office personnel should be professional and your application should include a resume.
The School of Education normally offers over 100 assistantships each year. A full-time assistantship is 20 hours per week, and a half-time assistantship is 10 hours per week.

Once admitted, other student financial assistance is available in the form of fellowships, scholarships and awards earmarked for School of Education students.
