Financial Aid for Prospective Graduate Students in Spanish and Portuguese

Overview | About the Department | Admissions Page | Programs | FAQ

At the time of admission, all applicants to the graduate program will automatically be considered for all of the awards for which they are eligible. In order to be considered for Fellowships, you must submit your application by January 15. Competitive GRE scores are required for all Fellowship nominations. Candidates submitting their applications after January 15 will still be eligible for Teaching Assistantships until all positions are filled. There are many special fellowships administered by organizations outside of the University of Kansas. It may be worth the effort for you to search out this money. You can start in any good college library, or peruse Grants for Graduate Study via the Graduate School Web page.

All applicants are automatically considered for Graduate Teaching Assistantships, provided they furnish a tape of themselves speaking Spanish (for non-native speakers of Spanish) or English (for non-native speakers of English).  Prior experience is not required to receive a Graduate Teaching Assistantship. The Department assumes that at the M.A. level applicants have limited experience teaching college-level Spanish. The Admissions Committee will makes its decision based on a review of the applicant's accomplishments, statement of professional objectives, letters of recommendation, scholastic achievement and GRE scores (if available).  GTA's typically teach one course per semester.  For AY 2007-08, beginning GTA's entering the M.A. program earned $14,070 (AY 2007-08) and beginning GTA's entering the Ph.D. program earned $16,000 (AY 2007-08).  Graduate Teaching Assistantships include a tuition waiver, but students are responsible for fees, currently totaling $377.75.
