Experiential Learning and Funding Support
BodyText1
Financial assistance for doctoral study in the Biden School of Public Policy & Administration may be provided in the form of research
assistantships generated by the faculty and Biden School-affiliated research and public service centers.
Research assistantships are competitively awarded to full-time Biden School students
who are registered for at least nine graduate-level credit hours in a regular semester.
Graduate research assistants are required to work 20 hours per week,
including during the January winter session. We make every effort to
assign students to projects that are related to their research areas,
but assignments are also based on the availability of funding. Research assistants
may not hold outside employment during the term of the assistantship. U.S. and non-U.S. citizens are eligible.
Doctoral students in joint degree programs must consult with their primary department regarding the availability of funding support.
Research Assistantship Application
BodyText2
If you are interested in being considered for a research assistantship, you must submit the Biden School Supplementary Information Form (Word version or PDF version) with your application to the academic program. The form provides the opportunity for you to rank your preference (optional) for the centers in which you might be considered for placement.
You may also use the Supplementary Information Form to indicate your interest in being considered for a University Graduate Scholars Award, if you feel you qualify.
