Just got the contract for my graduate assistantship here at Southern Illinois University, which means a tuition scholarship and a monthly salary for teaching/research while working towards my Master's degree. I'm pretty excited, just had to vent the good news a little bit!!

Congrats! I've had the same deal for three years. Besides the tuition waiver and stipend, it also gets you "behind the scenes" with faculty and administration which can come in handy sometimes. :)

Definitely! I've been doing an undergraduate independent study with my faculty advisor (who also happens to be the director of the graduate program) on one of his research projects this semester, which I will continue to work on as a grad student in the fall. But now I will be getting paid for it instead of having to pay the University.

I was looking for the same offer, but they felt my 1.3 GPA was a deal killer:confused:
