Graduate Assistantships and Scholarships

5101.1 General Policy

Wright State University has financial assistance available for graduate students in the form of graduate assistantships, graduate tuition scholarships, graduate stipend scholarships, and student loans. Applications for assistantships and scholarships must be made directly to the academic program, department or college. Those interested in student loans should apply at the Office of Financial Aid at Wright State University. Graduate assistantships and scholarships are intended for students granted regular admission to a graduate degree program. Some scholarships may also be available to students pursuing graduate certificates who are admitted into Certificate status. The Dean, College of Graduate Programs and Honors Studies upon recommendation of the program and the assistantship sponsor in those cases where these differ, makes appointments for all graduate assistantships. It is noted that all graduate assistants with classroom teaching responsibilities must successfully pass a test of spoken English before signing a graduate assistantship agreement.
