Application Process:

The Graduate Assistant position will run concurrent with an academic year and prospective applicants will apply by submitting a current resume and a letter describing their financial need and purpose for seeking the graduate assistant position. If accepted, the Graduate Assistant position will run a maximum of one year, always ending in Aug. A student may reapply for the following year, but there is no guarantee the student will receive the position again.

A qualified applicant must be a full-time student enrolled in a Master’s level or higher degree program maintaining a GPA above 3.5. The student must also demonstrate financial need and demonstrate appropriateness for the position.

SCS is an “at will” employee, meaning that employees may quit at any time, for any reason and SCS may fire an employee at any time with no reason or notice given. If the school terminates the position, the tuition discount will still be in effect for the active module, but not the subsequent ones. If the student initiates termination of the Graduate Assistant role, the student will be responsible for the full amount of tuition without the discount.
