The Assistantship Program at AGS - for online academic classes only

One of the goals of the Adizes Graduate School programs is to draw scholars from around the world. We wish to create an inspiring cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary interactive dialogue in the classrooms. AGS is pleased to offer several work-study opportunities to help offset up to 50% of the cost of tuition each term. You may choose from the following options:

1. Available to all students each term: The Research Assistant work-study program pays a student to provide assistance on research subjects of interest to a professor. The position reports to the Chief Academic Officer who will work with you to create a project each term. This position is intended to assist in the creation of publishable working papers and, thus, a high quality product outcome is expected.
    
2. Available for continuing students only, by faculty request only: The Teaching Assistant work-study program provides faculty with assistance in the verification of research and logic, and summary of concepts utilized in term papers and theses written by your colleagues for each course.

Students are required to submit a mid-term report at the six-week mark and have their final project turned in to their supervisor by the end of each term.

Financial Information: AGS Assistantships may be provided to individuals requesting financial assistance, depending upon the number of requests and enrollment. Up to 50% of tuition may be provided in a work/study program that generally requires the student to write a research paper aligned with course objectives, supervised by the Academic Dean. No other course fees are included in the Assistantship. The value of each approved project is a maximum of $1000USD per Term.

Privilege of Continuation: Each request is valid for one term only. A new Assistantship Request Form is required each term to apply for the Assistantship Program. The Assistantship program is a privilege which may be revoked if students fail to meet their commitments. Students are required to independently manage their projects in a timely manner. Continuation in the Assistantship program is based only upon MERIT.

Incomplete: Full tuition ($2000 per course) will be due for those who do not complete their project by the end of the Term. For example, say you were given a 25% Assistantship and paid $1500 rather than $2000 tuition. If you do not complete your project by the end of the Term, you will need to pay the balance of full tuition due, $500. The grade for the course will not be listed on your Transcript until tuition is paid. If the student withdraws from the course, amounts due for full tuition will be pro-rated based upon the Refund Policy.

Reporting: Students are required to submit a mid-term report at the six-week mark and must have their final project turned in to their supervisor by the end of each Term.

AGS staff will make every effort to assist you, but students are expected to be capable of independently managing their work/study projects.
