FELLOWSHIPS

Teaching assistantships are available for incoming students. These appointments award the recipient with a full, in-state tuition waiver and monthly stipend. To apply you must complete a Graduate Assistantship (teaching assistantship) Application and have a complete graduate program application file before March 1st for the following academic year. Applicants for teaching assistantships must write an additional brief letter in which they describe their interest in and prior experience with teaching. Teaching assistantships are awarded after March 1st for the following year. No applicant can be considered for a teaching assistantship until all required material has been received. Note especially that in order for the department to receive the GRE scores by March, applicants must take the GRE no later than the previous December.

For students in their second year of study, four Graduate Service Appointments (GSA) are available, one for each internship—Managing Editor, Willow Springs; Intern Coordinator, EWU Press; and Director, Writer's in the Community. An additional editorial GSA is usually available through EWU Press. These appointments award the recipient with a full, in-state tuition waiver and monthly stipend.
