Scholarships and Assistantships
Assistantships
Graduate students in the Department of Counseling and Higher Education will be given preference in filling 10 graduate assistantships in the UNT Division of Student Development. The assistantships are for one year beginning fall, 2008. Salary and benefits vary by position but typically include a monthly paycheck, health insurance, and, where appropriate, tuition reduction program for students currently paying out-of-state tuition (tuition reduction depends on field of study and the position). Applicants must complete an online application form, submit a resume, and request letters of recommendation from a colleague or former supervisor.
