Assistantship stipends for Graduate School awards for 2008 are $1,493.50 per month for a master’s student and $1,661.40 per month for a doctoral student holding a master’s degree. These awards are made for the first 21 months of graduate studies. The total value of the two-year award is $31,364.00. The student pays a reduced tuition of just $25 per semester and an activity fee of $563 per semester. The total annual benefit to the student is equivalent to their annual stipend plus a tuition waiver of $2,522 (resident) or $10,149 (non-resident) per semester (2008). Individual departments will continue funding at departmental rates during the final two semesters of study.
These awards require a sixteen-hour per week work commitment. During the first two years of study, recipients will develop creative research under the auspices of Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), an interdisciplinary initiative for advanced research in the arts at UGA.
