Graduate Teaching & Research
     Assistantships and Fellowships

The Department of Aerospace Engineering has the goal of providing funding for all full-time graduate students who are making good progress towards their degree. This funding takes the form of:

• Research Assistantships (RAs)
• Teaching Assistantships (TAs)
• Fellowships (full funding)
• Scholarships (partial funding)

Teaching Assistantships are generally awarded just for the first semester or two, with the expectation that all TA's will become RA's by the end of their first year in the program. It is the policy of the department not to award Teaching Assistantships to students from other departments - a student would have to transfer into our department (ENAE) in order to be considered for such a position.

In addition to standard Research Assistantships and Teaching Assistantships, the Aerospace Department offers the following awards to full-time Graduate Students:

• Aerospace Research Scholarship
• Aerospace Research Fellowship
• Aerospace Teaching Scholarship
• ARCS Fellowship
• Gustave J. Hokenson Fellowship
• Minta Martin Fellowship

All applicants and current students in the department are automatically considered for these awards and winners are chosen based entirely on merit.
