Are you currently funded by the Department as a GTA, Departmental GRA (not grant-based), or GAA and want to apply for funding next year? Do you not currently have an Assistantship but wan to apply for one for next year?

The Department’s Application for Graduate Assistantships for 2018-2019 is now open and available at http://go.osu.edu/esGTAapp. The deadline to apply is January 2, 2018 at 11:59pm. ALL students interested in a Departmentally-funded GA position next year MUST complete the application, even if you currently have a position and hope to return to the same position next year.

We have made a few changes to the application this year. The most substantial change is that you now must write a Statement of Interest and Qualifications for each position you choose to apply to. Position descriptions have been posted giving an outline of each position and the minimum qualifications to be hired for that position. With these changes, be sure to allow yourself sufficient time to complete the application before the deadline.

What if?

• I submitted an application and realize I need to change something?
• I’m not sure if the application submitted?
• I have other questions?
