Many graduate departments award Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA),
Graduate Student
Assistantships (GSA), and Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA). These awards
provide a stipend, assistance for 6-10 credits of graduate tuition per term, and
subsidized health and dental insurance coverage. As a GTA, GSA, or GRA, the
student spends about 20 hours per week in teaching, research, or related duties.
Fellowships, scholarships, internships and traineeships may also be available.
Information concerning all of these awards may be obtained by writing directly
to the contact person of the department in which the student plans to major.
Visit the Wayne State University website ( http://www.wayne.edu/ ) for information
about departmental contacts. Because Fall Term appointments are usually awarded
early in the calendar year, be sure to submit applications and supporting
documents to the department in adequate time for consideration

The Graduate Thesis/Dissertation Research Support Program is a grant program for WSU graduate students who are engaged in approved thesis/dissertation research. These grants are intended to help defray necessary but unusual expenses essential to the performance of thesis or dissertation research. Costs associated with preparation of the thesis or dissertation manuscript itself are not allowable under this program. Awards are limited to a maximum of $1,000 for dissertation research and $500 for thesis projects. Matching support from the student's department is required. Eligibility is restricted to one award per student per degree. Funds from the Thesis/Dissertation program must be spent within six months of the date of award. Applications and additional information are available in the Graduate School, 4327 Faculty/Administration Building. Telephone (313) 577-2170.
The Graduate Student Professional Travel Fund (GSPTF) is a limited fund made available to encourage and support master’s and doctoral student paper presentations at conventions, conferences, workshops, etc. Awards of up to $250 are made on the basis of merit to support the travel costs of students who present papers or poster sessions at professional meetings. Support will be provided only to one student for each paper and only then if the student is actually presenting the paper. Because these awards are intended to defray only partially the total costs to the applicants, matching support from the student's department is required. Students may receive only one award per fiscal year (October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008). Application for this award is made in the student’s department.
Many opportunities for grants for graduate study are available from public and private institutions. Information about these outside sources of funding may be available in a student's academic department. To assist you in identifying these external sources of financial assistance, we are providing the following information
