Students must have either a GA position or a full-time position in Student Affairs to be admitted into the SAHE program. There is a strong possibility that candidates admitted into the program will be employed as a graduate assistant within the division of student affairs. Prospective students' applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Earlier submission enhances an applicant's opportunities to obtain a graduate assistantship position. Assistantships lower educational costs, provide students additional work experience and allow students to pursue the program on a full-time basis. (Those individuals who are employed on campus will not be eligible for graduate assistantships.) Acquiring a GA position will help you gain valuable functional area work experiences before you enter the full-time job market during your last semester. Graduate students with emerging practical experience gain additional experiences through SAE 747.
These assistantships provide tuition, fees, a monthly stipend and discounts at the bookstore. Residence hall staffs are paid a slightly higher rate, in addition to receiving housing and a meal plan. Your application to the program will allow you to list three preference areas where you wish to gain experience.
**Students should be aware that the application process for a graduate assistantship is separate from the application for program enrollment. The SAHE program seeks to partner with you to obtain a GA position through our Graduate Recruitment Weekend (GRW) which is held every February.
