Approximately one-third of all Illinois State graduate students have assistantship support. Graduate assistantships include a monthly stipend, which varies in amount depending on the number of hours required for the assistantship, student status, source of the funding, or nature of the assistantship assignment. Assistantships are intended to facilitate progress toward a graduate degree.

To be eligible for an assistantship student must:

  • be admitted as a degree student in a graduate academic program
  • OR have a minimum of 120 undergraduate hours if in an integrated degree program
