Teaching or research assistantships
A limited number of research or teaching assistantships and administrative
fellowships are available in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction. Many of the teaching
assistantships in the department involve the supervision of student teachers in
the initial licensure programs. Each program area (with the exception of
learning technologies and early childhood education) supports
several people to supervise the student teachers in that specific area. If you
have experience teaching in a U.S. public school system and you are available
during the daytime, you may be eligible for one of these positions during the
academic year. Faculty members are able to identify what might be available
within their specific program area.
The graduate studies assistant sends e-mail messages notifying current students
of new positions as they become available
Support for graduate student travel and research
With the use of block grant
funds awarded to the department by the Graduate School as well as departmental
funds, the graduate studies committee offers support for graduate student travel
and research. Requests are considered in the following order of priority: (1)
dissertation research, (2) travel to present papers at national or international
conferences, (3) M.A. Plan B research, and (4) other research projects (such as
pilot projects or required course projects). Students must submit requests
in writing. Travel support and research support request forms are available
in the graduate studies office in 125 Peik.
Campus-wide assistantships
Students are eligible for research and teaching
assistantships and administrative fellowships in other departments at the
University. The graduate assistants office posts openings at
www.umn.edu/ohr/gae/.
Graduate School
The Graduate School offers a variety of fellowships and assistantships. Some
require departmental nominations and others (e.g., special grants for doctoral
dissertation) require direct application by students. These special grants—up
to $2,500 (national) and $5,000 (international)—are available to support
doctoral dissertation research; deadlines are October 1 and March 1 each year.
All Ph.D. students should apply first to the Graduate School for dissertation
support before making application to C&I graduate studies. More information is
available in the Graduate School Fellowship Office in 321 Johnston Hall
(612-625-7579) or
www.grad.umn.edu/fellowships/.

The College of Education and Human Development lists various awards and
scholarships at
www.cehd.umn.edu/students/scholarships/. This information is intended
for all students in the College, not only M.A. and Ph.D. students.
