Graduate Research Assistanships & Teaching Assistantships
Master's Students
Master's students may qualify for two types of financial aid: scholarships and graduate research assistantships (GRAs). Both are based on academic and other qualifications.
The GRA exempts students from half or the full tuition (in-state or out-of-state), depending on the number of hours worked and amount of stipend received per term. In the Managerial Sciences Department, GRAs are generally required to work 8-10 hours per week during the class weeks of a semester in order to receive a half tuition waiver; they also receive a small stipend for fall or spring. The GRA is generally renewed on a semester-by-semester basis, but with the possibility of multiple semester commitments. Reduced summer GRA's are occasionally offered as well.
Doctoral Students
The Institute provides financial aid to doctoral students in two forms: graduate research assistantships (GRAs) and graduate teaching assistantships (GTAs). The amount of the award is based on academic qualifications, particularly GMAT scores and undergraduate and/or graduate level GPA.
Persons who wish to apply for scholarships and graduate research assistantships should contact the Institute Director by telephone or letter after they have been formally admitted to the program. Awards are made on a case-by-case basis. Scholarship and GRA opportunities are limited and highly competitive.
Internship/Employment Referral
The Beebe Institute offers resume referral services for both internships and permanent full and part time employment positions with Atlanta area businesses for interested masters students.
Students placed in internship positions have found the experience to be a practical, tangible opportunity to put their classroom knowledge to work. Students have been placed in internships at companies such as Gerogia-Pacific, Delta Air Lines, Deloitte& Touche, Northern Telecom, MCI and Fannie Mae. An internship provides no credit towards the completion of a master's degree; rather, its primary purpose is to provide the student with job experience and, secondarily, a source of additional income. The rate of pay, hours of work, and job responsibilities are all negotiated between the student and the company.
Students are notified by email of job and internship openings.
