Financial Support
Assistantships and Fellowships
Many graduate students in the Division of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology hold a teaching assistantship (TA) or teaching fellowship (TF). These are typically half-time appointments (20 hours/week) and carry a stipend and, in most cases, a tuition supplement. Teaching assistants support the instruction of large undergraduate courses by running labs, delivering lectures, and grading. Teaching fellows serve as the instructor of record for undergraduate courses. For more information, consult the Toulouse Graduate School Website.
Internal Scholarships and Grants
Some graduate students in the Division of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology hold competitive scholarships from the College of Music and/or the Toulouse Graduate School.
