What is your best guess as to when you will graduate? Be realistic--we don't care whether you're taking more time than average.
*
What kinds of tuition support do you expect to receive next year?
*
Our hiring decisions are not based on whether students have another form of support; we need this information in order to set successful applicants up on our payroll. The Writing Center does not provide any assistance with tuition and/or fees; we simply pay our graduate writing coaches (who are classified as TAs) a stipend. Graduate writing coaches do qualify for health insurance, and if you are seeking tuition support from your department or the Graduate School and need confirmation that you are teaching with us, we are happy to supply that.
