Undergrad assistantship requests sought

SIUC's financial aid office is accepting undergraduate assistantship position requests for the 2006-07 academic year. This innovative program provides undergraduate students with a paraprofessional employment opportunity. Students work directly with a faculty member or professional level staff person in a position related to their career/academic discipline. A copy of the undergraduate assistantship policy is available here.

Positions that were approved for the current school year are not automatically renewed for the 2006-07 school year. Recipients must re-apply and compete for funding. The undergraduate assistantship application and position description form is available on the AIS E-forms Web site. Applications should be sent to Terri Harfst in the financial aid office, mailcode 4702

The deadline for departments to submit applications is Feb. 24. A University committee will review the applications and select positions to be funded. Approved positions will be posted to the financial aid office's Web site in April.
