Students who wish to apply for an Assistantship, Research Assistantship or Fellowship should complete the appropriate application form and submit it to the College of Graduate Studies. It is recommended that students apply to be considered for an assistantship/fellowship when they apply for admission to their program at Bridgewater. Assistantship applicants must be admitted with a clear admit status into a graduate degree program before being hired as an assistant/fellow. Undergraduate/graduate five-year program students are not eligible for assistant/fellow positions.

Students should be aware that academic and administrative departments do not receive approval for funding of GAs, GRAs or GWFs until June. Contact between departments and applicants usually does not occur until after June when approvals are sent. Applications are accepted yearly, as positions open in the fall and spring semesters. Applications that are not placed into a position are shredded on March 1st. Students who wish to be reconsidered for the next academic year must reapply.

By downloading, completing and submitting an application below, a student has agreed that they have read the Graduate Student Assistantship/Fellowship Handbook. Students are responsible for all information and guidelines within the handbook.
