   Northeastern Grants & Scholarships - Graduate Assistantships
 
  Teaching/Research Assistantships, Stipended Graduate Assistantships And Tuition Assistantships  
  These positions and awards are offered directly by the individual graduate schools or academic departments. Students seeking such assistance should contact their graduate school for an application and eligibility criteria. Any tuition remission, stipend award and/or housing compensation will be incorporated into the student’s financial aid package as a resource. Students who receive these forms of assistance may have reduced eligibility for need-based aid. Please note that assistantship funds are posted to your tuition account after a semester has begun and, therefore, will not appear on your initial billing statement. More specific information about each type of position is listed below:

• Graduate School Scholarships (GSS), non-taxable scholarships provided by academic departments to cover up to full tuition costs. Applications can be made to the department.

• Northeastern University Graduate Assistantships (GA), offer a taxable stipend in return for service, plus a non-taxable partial or full tuition scholarship. Graduate assistantships include teaching and research appointments, each requiring a time commitment to provide various types of assistance to an assigned department or project each week.
