/ Graduate Student Instructor Positions
All Taubman College graduate students are eligible for Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) positions after their first fall term at Michigan. The number of positions that are available depends on the program’s teaching needs for the particular term. GSI positions are very competitive. On average, over 100 students apply for approximately 30 positions.
Typically, a GSI position would cover 100% of tuition, provide a small stipend and health benefits during the term of appointment.

Federal regulations and U-M policy limit the types of financial assistance available to international students. International students are not eligible for U.S. need-based federal financial aid.

These are competitive, merit-based awards. In addition, some donor awards have specific applicant criteria. Applicants are notified of these awards in the letter of admission.
Additional funding resources for international students:
