A teaching assistant may serve as the primary instructor of a course, monitor exams, grade papers or help prepare lectures. Research assistants collaborate with faculty on funded research projects, assisting with research, field work and preparation of proposals and grants. General assistants may perform other duties such as clinical or administrative tasks related to their educational and career objectives. Contact your department for information on how to apply for an assistantship.

Saint Louis University offers three types: Diversity Fellowship, Presidential Fellowship and Dissertation Fellowship.

Each program may nominate one candidate for the Diversity Fellowship and one candidate for the Presidential Fellowship.
