Thank you for your interest in Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships at St. John’s University. 

At St. John’s University, assistantships and fellowships are highly selective and provide experiential learning opportunities for full-time graduate students that are directly connected to their program of study. Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships are placed within specific University departments for up to 20 hours per week and receive a stipend and tuition remission. The amount of each benefit varies based on the type of position and the student's level of study. 

Please note:

  • Students may not combine Assistantships or Fellowships with institutional scholarships, discounts, endowed scholarships, or other tuition remission.
  • Fast-track, pathway, combined degree, and 5-year program students are not eligible for Assistantships or Fellowships.
  • Assistantships and Fellowships are not guaranteed and are only available for one year at a time, with no guarantee of renewal.
  • Students in an Assistantship or Fellowship are not eligible for on-campus employment.
  • Students enrolled in Advanced Certificate and online programs are not eligible for Assistantships and Fellowships.

The Assistantship and Fellowship process for the 2026-2027 academic year will conclude on September 30, 2026.
