Graduate assistantships are offered as part of an employment contract. Graduate assistants normally work 10-20 hours per week, and must be enrolled in at least nine, but not more than 12 credit hours per semester.<\/p>\n

All assistantships require at least 10 hours of work per week and include a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition.<\/p>\n

Graduate assistants who work 20 hours per week receive a waiver of 100 percent of resident tuition and a waiver of the student health insurance premium.<\/p>\n

Graduate assistants who work 10-19 per week receive a waiver of 50 percent of resident tuition.<\/p>\n

All graduate assistants are expected to pay other applicable fees.<\/p>\n

You may be interested in applying for graduate assistantships that are not attached to an academic department. These opportunities are available at the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies<\/a> website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

School Gardens GAship 2024-2026<\/h2>\n
NAU’s Sustainable Communities Program seeks a graduate student for a two-year, fully funded<\/em> graduate assistantship during the 2024-2026<\/strong> academic years. The student will be an integral part of a faculty\/student team that is developing a new USDA-NIFA-funded project, \u201cAddressing Barriers to HSI Student Retention through Community Engaged Sustainable Food Systems Education.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Graduate Assistant will work toward an MA degree in Sustainable Communities while helping to coordinate and oversee a team of funded undergraduate interns who will work in Flagstaff public school gardens. The student will be expected to conduct thesis work on a topic related to the overall project, such as community-engaged pedagogy or local food systems.<\/p>\n
Because the project focuses on underserved populations, the Graduate Assistant is required to have a high level of Spanish-language fluency<\/em>. This position requires working 20 hours per week on the project during the two academic years, and 40 hours a week during the intervening summer. Along with wages, benefits include tuition remission and health insurance coverage.<\/p>\n
Interested students must first apply<\/a> to and be accepted into the Sustainable Communities MA Program. The required personal statement should include an expression of interest in the School Gardens GAship. Review of applications is slated to begin in mid-December. For more information, contact the project PI<\/a>, Peter Friederici.<\/p>\n
