Program Funding
Teaching Assistantships
With more than 40 positions available each year, teaching assistantships (TA) make up most of the funding available for graduate students in the Nutritional Sciences Program. TAs are an integral part of our undergraduate teaching program and offer graduate students experience teaching and working with faculty.
TAs are recruited to support undergraduate courses in autumn, winter, and spring quarters. Open TA opportunities are advertised to current UW students prior to each quarter and applications are reviewed in a competitive selection process. TA positions are 20 hours per week and provide a three month salary (Graduate School Pay Schedule), a tuition waiver (except for some mandatory student fees), and GAIP health insurance for the quarter of the appointment.
Note: GCPD students are unable to hold TA positions during the three quarters of full-time practice experience.
Hourly Reader/Grader Positions
Hourly reader/grader positions are available for graduate students in autumn, winter, and spring quarters. Reader/Graders assist with course-related duties including grading student papers and examinations, attendance at lectures, office hours, consultation with instructors, and other duties as assigned, but do not have responsibility for teaching. The pay rate for positions in the 22-23 academic year is $21.64 per hour. The weekly hours vary by course needs and are provided in the position announcements. Hourly reader/grader positions do not provide a tuition waiver or insurance benefits.
Nutritional Sciences Graduate Scholarships
Several merit- and need-based endowed scholarships are available annually to current Nutritional Sciences graduate students. Scholarship applications are requested in early spring for the following academic year. These awards are intended to assist directly with tuition and other program related costs.
