Teaching Assistantships require some form of instructional activity; Research Assistantships are intended to allow students to pursue research, under the direction of a faculty member. A maximum of 20 hours of service per week is required. The teaching assistantship awards for 2004-05 included a tuition waiver and a stipend of $13,091 for the nine months of the academic year. Conditions of the award are determined by the graduate student union contract with Temple University, and currently require recipients to do a combination of teaching and other assignments.
