Graduate Assistantships

Any student qualifying for admission may apply for one of a limited number of graduate assistantships offered annually. Awards consist of a stipend and fee waiver, for which the graduate assistant will be expected to work 10 or 20 hours per week. Typical assignments involve supervising preservice teacher interns, teaching undergraduate Teacher Education courses, serving as research assistants for graduate faculty or a combination of tasks. To be considered, applications must be submitted to the Graduate College. Applications will be reviewed by the Doctoral Management Committee, chaired by the Doctoral Program Coordinator, and recommended to the Chair of the Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Foundational Studies by March 1.  

Graduate Residential Scholars Program

Participants in the Graduate Residential Scholars Program (GRSP) live in an on-campus residential community of graduate students representing diverse backgrounds and disciplinary interests. Each scholar is awarded a graduate assistantship that includes a stipend ($10,000 per academic year), full waiver of tuition and fees, and free housing in the new and fully furnished University Square Apartments. Twenty GRSP positions were awarded to new and returning graduate students. Students accepting GRSP awards live in four-bedroom apartments with four students per apartment. Each apartment has high-speed internet, reserved parking, and washer and dryer facilities. Prospective GRSP students use normal procedures to apply to a Boise State graduate program for admission starting the next fall semester. Application procedures are described in the graduate catalog or can be found at http://www.boisestate.edu/gradcoll/. In addition, students interested in the GRSP should submit a GRSP Application Form, found at: http://www.boisestate.edu/gradcoll/GRSP.doc. Selection of GRSP award recipients begins on February 1, with notification in late February. Note that this date differs from the application deadline for the Ed.D. program. If interested in the GRSP, a student should apply in the fall and is encouraged to check with the doctoral program coordinator to ensure the application material is considered prior to the February 1 GRSP deadline.
