Prospective Students
Tuition & Aid
Research & Teaching Assistantships
The University of Washington actively recruits graduate and professional students from throughout the nation and the world. In order to provide competitive recruitment packages, the University offers a number of graduate service appointments (e.g. Teaching Assistantships, Research Assistantships, Staff Assistantships, Fellowships, Traineeships). Academic student employees in the College of Education (both domestic and international) receive tuition waivers as well as health insurance coverage for themselves and their dependents. Non-resident domestic students who do not hold graduate service appointments but who are in their second or later year of enrollment, may be eligible to qualify for residency or they may be awarded a non-resident tuition waiver, thereby allowing them to pay in-state tuition.
The College of Education offers teaching, research, and staff assistantship positions are offered to approximately 30 graduate students each academic year. These positions involve a wide range of activities. Primary consideration is usually given to doctoral students with a strong background of successful teaching, research, and/or administrative experience. If you are interested in specifically working on funded research projects, we recommend that you make contact with faculty whose research interests most closely match your own.
To be eligible, students must be admitted by the Graduate School, be enrolled for at least 10 credits per quarter of coursework toward an advanced degree, and maintain a high level of scholarship. As positions become available, specific job descriptions will be posted that may include varying application deadlines as well as more specific criteria.
Appointments are made on a quarterly or annual basis and may be available for renewal. Service to the College requires an average of 20 hours weekly. Appointments provide a monthly salary, a quarterly tuition waiver, and health insurance.
Job descriptions are posted for a minimum of seven days; links to specific job descriptions and criteria are posted below. If you are interested in applying for any of these positions please follow "how to apply" instructions at the bottom of the posted position description. If no instructions are provided, please contact the College of Education Area or office which has listed the position.
Students may also wish to investigate graduate student assistantships outside of the College of Education by contacting other departments in which they have an interest or aptitude, or by viewing available positions on-line through the University’s Human Resources Division.

In addition, the UW Library’s Graduate Funding Information Service (GFIS) posts available graduate student assistantship positions outside of the College of Education (as well as other funding opportunities) on its blog: http://uwgfis.blogspot.com/.
