Graduate Assistantships

Every student who applies to a graduate program within the College of Engineering and Science is considered for an assistantship, but students are advised to submit a resume/CV with their application.

Ph.D. applicants for research assistantships should connect with research faculty in the field that interests them. Some great resources to start looking at are Louisiana Tech’s Research Institute and Centers, research faculty profiles, Louisiana Tech Digital Commons, and the College of Engineering and Science faculty directory.

Master’s Assistantships

Nearly all on-campus master’s degree students are eligible for an assistantship. The annual stipend ranges from $915 to $3600 and includes a scholarship for out-of-state tuition. Full-time students are eligible for assistantship awards starting the first quarter of enrollment.

Please contact the Graduate Studies Office for more information.

Tithi Desai

Second Year Student: Ph.D. Engineering Micro and Nanoscale Systems

“Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to be a scientist: I actually wanted to fly to the moon, but coming here was like landing on a star. In fact, I always wanted to work at NASA, and being here has given me the chance to work on a project for NASA. I can’t wait to visit one of the space stations to see the things I’ve researched thus far.”

Ali Alqahtani

Second Year Student: Ph.D. in Engineering Cyberspace

“I attended Grambling State University for my bachelor’s degree, and afterward, I got my master’s degree at South Arkansas University. Finally, I’m here at Louisiana Tech getting my Ph.D. in cyberspace engineering. I had been wanting to attend Louisiana Tech because of its good ratings and because of its doctoral program in cyberspace engineering, which is not offered in many U.S. universities.”

Hillary Husband

Second Year Student: Ph.D. in Molecular Science and Nanotechnology

“I may not be able to cure cancer, but I could help reduce the side effects of treatment, which I think is one of the worst parts of having cancer…. My personal experience with cancer has enabled me to sympathize with others fighting cancer, and I don’t want other people to experience the hardship I dealt with–that is what motivates me. I realize being here is special, and I have a purpose.”
