Templates

Recruitment financial offer templates should be used when offering funding to a new, incoming student.  Appointment templates should be used as a follow up to accepted recruitment offers as well as for continuing students. 

Any changes to appointment letters or requirements that deviate from the provided templates must receive prior approval from the Graduate College. This includes requirements specific to the appointing unit. Approval from your college-level financial administrator is required prior to Graduate College review.

Please note:

For the 2023-24 academic year, the estimated minimum stipend for a 50% academic year RA/TA appointment is $24,586.
