Teaching Assistantships
The College of Geosciences' four academic departments offer numerous teaching opportunities. Teaching is typically in undergraduate laboratory courses, ranging from 10 to 30 students. The availability of these assistantships depends on the semester courses offerings for the department. For more information, contact the graduate advisor in your future department (click here to see list).

Research Assistantships
Many professors provide students with research assistantships working on a variety of projects within departments. This assistantship may or may not be directly related to your graduate work, but it is another option for those wishing not to teach. If there is a faculty member you are particularly interested in working with, contact him or her directly. Contact information is available on the faculty directory pages on each department's website.

Federal - Supported Grants or Fellowships
These types of funds depend on the money available and are provided by various federal agencies (e.g., NOAA, NSF). Not all types of proposals fall under research scientists, but can include graduate students who are new in their programs. For more information, contact your future department office.

University Scholarships or Fellowships
The Office of Graduate Studies is another funding resource. Many scholarships or fellowships have a range of qualifications and may or may not be affiliated with your department.

Non-Teaching Graduate Assistantship
Assistantships are also available within multiple university branches, such as the Study Abroad Office or Association of Former Students. These are not typically available through your department, but require that you contact the particular office or branch of interest. Another resource for such opportunities is JobsForAggies, which continually posts work opportunities throughout the campus and community.
