assistantships (for master's degree students) and fellowships (for
doctoral students).
Does St. John's offer assistantships
and/or fellowships?
St. John's offers assistantships (for master's degree students) and
fellowships (for doctoral degree students). Under an assistantship,
St. John's pays a student's tuition and provides a small stipend in
exchange for 15 to 20 hours a week of work for an individual
department. Students with assistantships in the humanities work as
research assistants, while those with assistantships in the
sciences work as teaching assistants. Fellowships are geared
specifically toward students in doctoralprograms, who receive full tuition without having
to provide any work hours per week.
How do I apply for an assistantship (for
master's degree students) or fellowship (for doctoral degree
students)?
First, an applicant must fill out the
Graduate Assistantship/Fellowship Application included in the St.
John's application. Candidates for assistantships/fellowships must
be applicants for full-time graduate study at St. John's. The
student may not work a full-time job while serving as a Graduate
Assistant/Fellow. To apply, students are required to take the GRE
general exams.
The GMAT is required for applications to
The Tobin College of Business (with the exception of the MS in
Management of Risk for which the GRE general exam will be
accepted).
How do I check the status of my assistantship
application?
If you have questions concerning
assistantships, or would like to know the status of your
assistantship application, please contact the dean or director of
your intended academic program.
