Student Employment & Assistantships

Financial Aid & Scholarships

MCE offers student employment opportunities. These include graduate assistantships, graduate research assistantships, fellowships, and hourly positions.

  • Graduate assistantship duties can include teaching, research, or administration. Graduate assistantships are 100% college funded.
  • Graduate research assistantships are primarily grant-funded. Assistantship positions receive both a tuition waiver and a monthly stipend (paycheck).
  • Fellowships are another form of financial support. They offer community engagement opportunities and a platform for furthering scholarly research activities. To provide these opportunities, MCE works in partnership with other organizations such as the Center for Multi-Cultural Excellence, Student Activities, and the Morgridge Family Foundation. Fellowship appointments typically receive both a tuition waiver and a stipend.
  • Other MCE student employment opportunities are paid hourly and are typically non-benefited positions. These types of positions are conveniently located on campus. You do not need to be awarded federal work-study funding to be eligible for student hourly employment.
