Graduate Assistants receive a stipend and tuition scholarship. Stipends differ by discipline and rank. The stipend will be broken down into equal paychecks over each semester (or over the academic year for students on an academic year appointment). Paychecks will be distributed by the graduate assistant’s department on the regular faculty/staff payday (on alternate Fridays).
Contact the department or the College of Graduate Studies for specific information about stipend levels.
The tuition scholarship may be used for graduate-level instructional and out-of-state fees for up to 12 hours each term. Under no circumstances can a tuition scholarship be applied for undergraduate courses or courses taken for audit.
Graduate Assistants are eligible to receive a subsidy toward the purchase of the University of Toledo student health insurance, and are eligible to receive a faculty/staff parking permit for the same price as the student permit. The faculty/staff parking permit will allow Graduate Assistants to park in student or faculty/staff parking lots. Graduate Assistants may payroll deduct the cost of their health insurance, parking permit and on-campus housing up to the maximum net stipend. Graduate Assistants must be appointed for a full academic year to participate in payroll deduction of the University of Toledo student health insurance.
