Part-Time Administrative Assistant Scholarships for Graduate Students

Part-time administrative assistants are considered labor-type (and not learning-type) assistants.

Graduate students who are unable to perform their duties satisfactorily or who are subject to a demerit or more severe penalty will lose their right to apply for or continue to receive scholarship payments. Scholarship payments begin in August for current students (September for new students) and end in July of the following year.
