A Graduate Assistantship gives you the unique experience of gaining valuable professional skills while benefiting from a financial aid opportunity. As a graduate assistant, you'll work as a tutor or in an entry-level capacity in one of the many departments at Regis including Admission, Student Affairs, Health Services, the Young School of Nursing, the Autism Center, or Regis Online, to name a few.

Graduate Assistantships are available to graduate students who are enrolled in a minimum of six credits within their graduate program and maintain a 3.0 GPA.

There are two Graduate Assistant (GA) levels:

  1. 112.5 hours/semester: up to $2,500/semester tuition reduction 1
  2. 225 hours/semester: up to $5,000/semester tuition reduction 1

Additional responsibilities of GA positions include being a contributor to the Graduate and Professional Student Affairs Team, serving as a student representative, and sharing your academic and professional experiences within your program of study. Your contributions will account for about one hour of your work schedule per month. Our virtual and on-campus events include student orientations, career workshops, celebratory events, and social media posts introducing various students and other student engagement programming.

  1. For each semester, Graduate Assistants will receive a tuition discount of up to $2,500 or $5,000, depending on whether the position is part-time or full-time. The tuition discount will not exceed the total tuition charged. In general, Regis College may reduce the amount of any award, scholarship, tuition discount, or tuition benefit if the total amount exceeds the amount a student is charged in tuition. In other words, no student will receive a refund if their awards, scholarships, tuition discounts, or tuition benefits amount to more than the tuition charged.
