Agribusiness Assistantship Awards are reserved annually for qualified, full-time
students. The assistantship pays a ten month stipend (August - May) in return for
20 hours of work on an assigned project relevant to the Agribusiness program at
the University of Nebraska.
In addition to the stipend, tuition is waived for up to 12 hours during the fall
and spring semesters, and up to 6 hours during the summer session. Students are
also eligible for health insurance coverage at no cost through the University Health
plan. Dependents may also be insured, at an additional cost.
Assistantships are awarded based upon the application materials submitted to the
Office of Graduate Studies, CBA Graduate Advising, and the Agribusiness Assistantship
Essay Application. Some of the factors considered when awarding assistantships are
an applicant's undergraduate GPA, GMAT score, and career goals.
