Assistantships

Teaching and research assistantships (TA/RA) positions are available for those interested in contributing to the School as well as in gaining professionally related experience. Graduate assistants are paid at an hourly rate and receive tuition coverage at a rate double the percentage of appointment (e.g., if appointed 25%, 50% of the tuition is covered). A health care benefit package is provided on the same basis as the tuition benefit. TA and RA positions are posted in 6-138 Weaver-Densford Hall (and on the University of Minnesota's Web site) and become available throughout the academic year. Please contact the School of Nursing Office of Student Services for application materials.

Traineeship Grants

The following areas of study have various professional traineeship grants available for admitted students:

• nurse-midwifery
• pediatric nurse practitioner
• children with special health care needs
• family nurse practitioner
• gerontological nurse practitioner
• public health

Traineeships usually include tuition costs and perhaps a stipend. The traineeshipships are awarded to students who plan to work with medically underserved populations or in areas of Minnesota experiencing health professional shortages.

All eligible students are automatically mailed an application in the summer.
