These positions provide tuition remission, a stipend, and access to health care insurance. The duties of teaching assistants may include teaching discussion sections, lecturing, preparing examinations, running laboratory sections, and grading. There is no application for a teaching, assistantship position; the department considers all current and admitted graduate students for any open position. TA eligibility is usually limited to four semesters of support. To review the Graduate School requirements for a TA position and current benefits go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/graduateschool\/students\/financial-support\/assistantships\/\">Graduate Assistant Policies and Procedures<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a1\">Chancellor\u2019s Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two Chancellor\u2019s Graduate Students Awards are offered to newly admitted students each year. These awards combine a grant (ranging from $4,500 to $6,000 a year) with a 50% teaching assistantship. Both the grant and the TA position may be renewed for a second year. Chancellor\u2019s Awards are usually awarded to non-residents applying to the PhD program.
