Graduate Assistant Tuition Assistance
Graduate Assistants are, first and foremost, graduate students pursuing an education. The opportunity to work closely with faculty members and undergraduate students in teaching, research, or administrative environments is an integral part of that education. Assistantships provide graduate students with the financial resources necessary to pursue their degrees. This financial support—stipend, tuition assistance, and benefits—is part of the University’s commitment to the success of our graduate students.

It is used primarily for positions in industry and non-profit sectors. A hybrid document with elements from both a CV and resume is common for government positions.
