All newly admitted Ph.D. students in Linguistics are considered for a variety of Graduate Teaching and Research Assistantships, including the Enhanced Graduate Teaching Assistantship (EGTA). The EGTA will provide a generous stipend for 9-months of study, paying $19,468 per year until you successfully complete your comprehensive exams – typically during your third year. From the semester following the successful completion of your comprehensive exams, your salary will increase to $20,818 per year. The EGTAship also provides you with full resident fees & tuition for full-time study each academic year for up to 5 years and health insurance coverage.

Applicants should submit their materials by February 15, 2024 for fullest consideration for admission and for this funding program. Interested students should contact ling.advisor@uta.edu for more information.
Assistantships are generally awarded to Doctoral students only. GTAs teach primarily undergraduate linguistics classes. GRAs are assigned to assist a particular faculty member for a set number of hours per week.
The following guidelines are used by the department to determine awards for both new and continuing students.
