STUDENT AFFAIRS GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS
Student Affairs and our campus partners serve as an educational laboratory for graduate students pursuing careers in higher education broadly as well as student affairs more specifically.
Overview
The Office of Vice President for Student Affairs (OVPSA) coordinates the selection process for graduate assistantships in Student Affairs and our campus partners, including the Career Center, New Student Orientation, and the Office of Service Learning. Each year, we invite incoming and current master’s-level graduate students to apply for positions and attend interviews during our Visiting Days program.
This process is not inclusive of all assistantships available across the university.
Eligibility
All students enrolled in or applying to a master’s-level graduate program offered at the University of Georgia are eligible to apply for assistantships through our process.
Doctoral-level assistantships are not offered through this process.
Benefits
Each assistantship comes with the following:
- Tuition Waiver – Covers either in-state or out-of-state tuition as well as summer tuition.
- Stipend – May include different requirements and compensation. View position descriptions or contact assistantship providers directly for more information.
