Millersville offers graduate assistantships to prospective and currently enrolled graduate students who have been formally admitted into a master's degree program. Graduate assistants are assigned to an academic department or administrative office on-campus, usually relating to the student's area of study. Eligible students can benefit from an assistantship because the experience serves as a contribution to a graduate student's intellectual development. An assistantship also entitles a graduate assistant to a tuition waiver and a bi-weekly stipend during the academic year.

The majority of our graduate assistantships are full-time whereby the graduate assistant would work twenty (20) hours per week in the position. A limited number of part-time graduate assistantships are available whereby the graduate assistant would work ten (10) hours per week in the position. The stipend and tuition waiver would be determined based on the full-time/part-time status of the assistantship. Students interested in applying for a graduate assistantship should submit a completed Graduate Assistantship Application and Information packet that will be subject to review on a competitive basis.

Diversity in Graduate Assistantships - Millersville University is committed to increasing multicultural awareness and understanding, and to recruiting and retaining a diverse student body. To this end, the Office of Graduate Studies is deeply commitment to recruiting and retaining underrepresented populations as members of our graduate student community. As several of our academic and administrative offices on campus provide services aimed at supporting our minority and international students, we especially encourage graduate assistant applications from students of diverse backgrounds for these positions.
