Graduate Scholar Research Assistantships
One-year (12 month) graduate student research assistantships are available to full-time UVM graduate students (U.S. Citizens or permanent residents). Students may be in any graduate program within UVM's colleges or schools. In addition to $28,000 of direct (employment based) support, an additional $1,000 may be available to support the selected student's research expenses, data purchases, books, professional travel, conferences or registration fees.
