Graduate Assistantships
The types of assistantships listed below are available through the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation for students admitted to graduate degree programs on the Bloomington campus. Graduate students can apply for these assistantships by visiting this online application. Most assistantships are awarded in the spring semester of each academic year for use toward the following year's expenses.

In most cases, assistantships that are awarded to masters students are granted for only one year.
